Product Description

Synopsis

Packed with inspiration, this is the ultimate business card book, bringing together 300 of the best examples of cards by and for designers and creative companies around the world. Business cards are a major design challenge; creating successful cards is all about the clever use of space. Grouped according to aesthetic approach, the cards featured in the book address design issues such as the need to make a splash, stand out from the crowd or differentiate members of a team. Some cards are designed to function as portfolios or to express in miniature the holder's preferred aesthetic or personal worldview; some are elaborately designed, others are intended to be personalized with handwriting or stickers. Materials are also important: not all cards are machine printed, and the book includes cards on metal, plastic, paper and corrugated cardboard, or made from recycled stationery or subway tickets; text is applied using foil-blocking, spot varnish, letter press, colour Xerox and rubber stamping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent examples and great value, 22 Nov 2005
By Sara Greatorex "sassygirly_wd" (Kings Langley) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is is great book for designers. There's a huge variety of business card examples here, some formal, some informal, some very corporate, some funky and some that don't appear to be business cards at all.

There's not a huge amount of text to read, just loads of images, which suits me fine as I wanted an inspirational book to help me think of new designs when I get stuck. There's a wide selection of illustrative and typographic styles featured, which makes this a great book to have on your desk when you're struggling. I tend to mix and match what I see and do something new with it, and there are plenty of great ideas to take your pick from.

It's also just nice to see what everyone else in the industry is doing, Worldwide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good., 28 Feb 2005

Great collection but little time taken to discuss what makes a great business card or what makes them memorable. The really innovative ones are crammed in the back like after thoughts.
