You can make your business card do more for you if you employ a little business card inspiration in your design process.

Party Flyers
There are pieces of paper people rarely like to receive. Among them are subpoenas, letters from the IRS, pink slips, and rejection letters.

Party flyers are not ...

In case you missed the incessant play of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in every pharmacy, department store, restaurant, and public bathroom you set foot in, we’d like to remind you that the holidays are here. It’s time again to spend every spare penny you have to reassure your friends and family that you do indeed care for them – so much so, in fact, that you’d rather they get those sweet faux fur vests they’ve been eyeing in the Nordstrom window (even they live in Miami Beach where the temperature rarely ...

Kick Ass Business Cards
“Business people” may have had a stuffy reputation in years past. In today’s economy, though, in which entrepreneurship is thriving while the status quo corporate world wanes, “business” doesn’t look the way it used to.

These kick ass new businesses are anything but ordinary. ...

Next Day Flyers
So you’ve got 80 magnums of Dom lined up behind the bar, ready for the blowout party you’re throwing in two days. The sickest DJ in town has confirmed he’ll be spinning from midnight to 4 a.m., and you’ve booked a hot young female DJ from the local college radio station as your opening act. You’ve rigged up a ceiling full of confetti that will rain down at the height of the night; you’ve hired dancers who will wear little but a few sequins to gyrate as the morning hours approach. Heck, you’ve even restocked ...
Business Cards: Square Corners Vs. Rounded Corners
Is it hip to be square? Or is it better to be well-rounded? Okay, we know that was cheesy, but this – or something like this – is a question you may consider when you’re designing your next new business card. Among the many business card options available these days are rounded corners, as an alternative, of course, to the traditional square-cornered business cards. To some, it may seem like an insignificant detail. But if you’re an over-analyzer like us, the choice might be a tough one to make. What does it ...
