Falling in line with much of Halftone Def’s work, their business cards are unapologetically playful, yet deliberate and bold in their approach as well. What does this mean? They’ve nailed down a style that is unique, and they are confident about it. I love the red logo stamp as a finishing touch.
Halftone Def Studios has been a labor of love for the past four years. We enjoy the griminess of the screen printing process, and pulling ink for the majority of our posters by hand. We wanted our business card to reflect our straight-forward, hands-on approach. The result, is the relatively labor-intensive nugget pictured above. We hope it lets people know about our work ethic and honest love for our craft… and that we like monkeys.
Trust and open communication are key, if you can find a printer that’s wicked awesome on top of that, production is a breeze. Thanks, Jackie.
