The Wonderful World of Business Cards.


As you can see from some of my recent posts, I've really been getting into developing business cards lately. Whilst I am on the very cusp of learning about this new format, I've been sourcing some really inspiring designs, and would love to design some more creative and styalised cards in the soon, for clients, or, just as a practice run for possible commisions in the future.

Business card for a relationships counciller- love the use of the tear away. So simple, yet it completely transforms the card.

Nice and cheeky- clever use of the google search bar, something that everyone can relate to, recognisability= familiarity=good!


Another google card- this time using the 'did you mean?' bar- very smart- like an insta- yellow pages.

Great use of materials here- creating tension in a "strectch armstrong" way- the business card, in itself is a mini workout. Great marketing!

Fun DIY papercrafts kit- memorable and interactive.


Good use of the rounded edges- the little details really do make all the differnece. Now the resemblance to a glass is far stronger and familiar, and represents the company image more strongly. No comprimises, despite the simple design.

Brilliant use of multiple stocks- very fun way of representing the hairstyles and colours for this hairdressing company.


Hehe! Love the cheeky interaction of (what I presume to be) this breast-enhancement clinic card. Good choice for minimal stock colours too- the pink also clearly symbolises the female target audience.


The business card of one of my favourite illustrators/papercraft artists- obviously encorporating his style into the card, possible clients get an immediate message of his style and work methods.


Probably my favourite of all the business cards so far- for a seperation/divorce lawyer. Simple perferation is so clever, yet kept very neat and symmetrical with the balance of the scales at the top- and with the contact details at the bottom- a his and hers.


Love the typographic detail in this business card- so eloborate and elegant, and the composition is very interesting- with the very clean cut and formal type (with the contact details and information) on the other side of the card. Interestingly Jeykll and Hyde-like.
