Business Card

Business Card by hinching.
Very much inspired by Bright Corner’s business cards, instead of a fixed title like Graphic Designer, I opted for short description about the range of design projects I can do. It’s rather broad if you know what I mean. Careful not to put an overload of information, the words on the business card has gone through several revisions.

No logo? I personally feel that being a ’soon-to-be’ design graduate, there’s no need to associate myself with any form of personal logo or trademark. Reason being that I’d prefer to show potential employers that I’m excited to become part of their studio instead of me looking like a one-man-show.

What makes a good business card? For me, it has to best reflect me which I think the present card does a good job. Less on the visuals but more on the text. There’s ample space on the front for jotting down notes.Typeface used: Relato Serif by Emtype.net which you’ll be seeing used extensively in my portfolio.

Pay the bills? Bwuahaha. I can’t believe I put this in but I’m unashamed. Since I’m going to make design a way of earning a living, it’s just make sense that whatever I will be doing should pay for my bills especially just starting out in the design industry.

Cool business card! I like the idea of the description. Rather, than showing a logo design w/ just contact information, you allow the client to have a better understanding of the attitude and skillset of the designer in charge of working for them. I'd also, love to see your works. Best of luck!

I am inspired, I'm not quite graduating but I am on my way, and you've definitely opened my eyes to a different approach to branding myself. I think we might have similar feelings on how to present ourselves, which is why in my search for inspiration (for a current project) I am stopping to leave this comment, and say simply that you rock.

Nice idea but the lines are broken in a way that makes it a bit annoying to read. Especially the 1st line. Where you state "Doing what he
does best"…

That is sooo true!!!
(I am one of the "soon-to-be" graduate student myself.)
All you need to do is to make people remember you, isn't it!!

Very nice idea. People will remember your business card ;-)

I love this - great design, great words & great thinking.

I have a sketchbook I've stenciled across the front of with the quote:
"Everything starts with an idea. An idea needs a place."
