On any given day you will stumble across a business card. Sometimes you will look at it in disdain, and occasionally you will find it attractive. It is not every day that you will see a business card that will have you searching for the perfect word to describe it.
The inspiration for this business card came from my url: designthattalks.com. I wanted to think of a way to combine a business card and a leave behind into one piece that advertised who I am, where my work is located and most of all… something that instantly catches the viewer’s attention.
Well Matt, your card will surely get tongues wagging, people talking and perhaps a few designers drooling.
