as a creative i can appreciate thinking outside of the box; but a lot of the times while on the job we’re required to come up with more practical solutions. so should our major selling tools like business cards break the mould, literally? here are some collections of unique business cards that don’t all hold fast to the 3.5 by 2 inch rectangle.

what do you think? is it ever more impressive to find clever solutions within the box or bust outside of it? should we assume that others will understand that if we are able to push the boundaries that we also respect those same boundaries and know how to successfully maneuver within them? do these unconventional business cards act as a selling point or a potential scare tactic?

as designers we can appreciate a well designed business card. david deasy has taken the idea of a business card to a whole new dimension, turning a standard 2 by 3.5 inch piece of cardstock into an experiential campaign, that if you’re lucky, may find its way to your mailbox [i know, not likely, but there is always wishful thinking.] to see more about this self-promotion, visit fpo.
