Business Cards

Shaun Whalen painted metal business cardShaun Whalenmetal business cardIt 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.

Kevin Mitnick's Business Card 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.
