After several months, I finally found my camera and am able to put documentation up for these business cards I created in February.
The first idea was to laser cut my information into styrene, but as you can see from the bubbling and burning that did not go so well.
Okay so then it was on to paper. But my first idea of cutting into some bright green or pink paper, and printing the back, still had issues with burning.
So finally, with the right combination of black paper and layering with colored paper, the final product was born!
I’ve been extremely happy with these, and they’ve accomplished exactly what I wanted them to: they’re a superb conversation starter with anyone, in particular, a potential future employer. With the sheer number of applicants for all jobs these days, having someone look at your card just a few seconds longer than someone else’s and having them ask you questions about it can be instrumental in standing out.
Like what you see? Talk to me at rleepatrick@gmail.com if you’re (a) full of questions (b) interested in having some version of these or a different design altogether constructed for you.
Toodles,

Wow. These turned out absolutely incredible.
