Business Cards

It has come to my attention that business cards are cool. Handing them out, getting them, trading them… cool. All the hip people I know have business cards, especially the people that don’t need them. In all honesty, I don’t need business cards either. I have some Royall Media business cards, which have come in handy before, but cards for personal use are pointless. But at some point I bet someone will ask me for my card and I won’t have one to give them. Then I’ll really feel dumb for not having any.

In an effort to avoid being in a situation like that, I’ve designed these cards which I’ll get printed at a later date.

I really love what a  well designed business card can do for someone. A good card is like a good logo; it’s like creating a brand for yourself to become more memorable. There are a ton of amazing business cards out there, but one of the best I’ve ever seen was made for world famous computer hacker, Kevin Mitnick. If you’d like a copy of his business card, you’ll either have to meet the man in person or go to his company’s site where you can find instructions on how to purchase a business card for $5. The best part is that I bet people are paying that $5. I think I’ll wait till I meet Mr. Mitnick however.

Flickr has a phtostream dedicated to beautifully designed business cards. Do check it out if you need any layout inspiration.
