TOP 5 BUSINESS CARD DESIGNS
I have been set a task of researching my favourite top 5 business cards around at the moment, and here they are.
At Number FIVE: TAKE ME, POUCH.
This was collected from the 'NEW DESIGNERS' exhibition, London 2013.
The fact it was parcelled up was intriguing and made the receiver want to open it up to view the unknown. Unfortunately the mean point of a business card is to hold appropriate information to let to receiver no about you and your practice. I felt this particular card wasn't letting you know what the persons trade was.
At Number FOUR: VARIOUS MATERIALS.
These strechy business cards were sourced from Pinterest. The range of materials that can be used for business cards is vast. You can be as creative as your imagination will let you. Especially the laser cut, etched and layered wooden card is eye catching, interesting and very effective for the suited trade.
At Number THREE: THE BIG INITIAL.
If you want to get your name across, maybe this is the approach for you.
Its a bold statement that depending on colour choice could work extremely well or not at all. For instance the red colouring could come across as passionate but the choice of a duller more muted may not stand out.
At Number TWO: NAME TO FACE.
This quirky design gives the business card a friendly introduction to there recipient. Putting a name to a face can make people remember you, your face and most importantly your work.
At Number ONE: CLASSICAL IMAGE.
This particular card belongs to the Part 1 winner of NEW DESIGNERS, London, 2013.
This traditional style business card from Kate Turton, holds purely an image of the her work. It makes Turton's work memorable and identifiable. A design which never ceases to fail.
