Other than type, I have a *big* thing for sexy business cards. Especially in today's competitive world, you need to have some form of advantage that allows you to stand out from others ... how do you do that? I say ... sexy business cards. Offering a first impression that's bound to last, the business card is a great means to get all your information across as well as create some intrigue with possible employers and clients. For years, I've been collecting well-designed business cards as well as books that highlight interesting and unique cards from across the world. Even for a simple design idea, skimming through those books gives you that look or feel you were searching for.
I love the cards above. They are playful and add a little bit of *something* to the card in order to make it stand out from the rest. I designed a card about 5-6 years ago that left an opening in the card so that people could look through it with a tag line of "it's how you look at it." It's a really interesting concept and I think gives the card more of an interactive feel to it. The card above works well due to the popularity of the mustache that seems to have swept over popular culture. It's sexy and boy, does it work.
