One of the things we have to produce for our current brief is a business card so here are some designs I like.This is a growing business card by Jamie Wieck. I think its really effective as it would serve its purpose of staying on a desk. Wieck says:
"For this project I set out to design a business card that a prospective client would want to keep on their table rather than in their pocket.
The result was a business card that worked like a miniature house-plant, growing alfalfa or cress when dipped in water - a business card for 'another bloomin' designer'.
The logo was also cut into a 'seed stencil' that allowed the logo to be grown on either earth or lawn; on uncut grass, the message would remain hidden until the area was mown".
Business card for a personal trainer printed onto a stretchy material so clients have to work to get the details.
Nice use of debossing, a regular feature of business cards. I really need to learn embossing and debossing and just letterpress in general! I love the way it looks, so much nicer than computer printing.
A good example of a two tone design which is what we have to stick to.
And to finish, here is the famous business card scene from one of my favourite films American Psycho.
