Offbeat Business Cards

Inspiring Ideas for Self Promotion

As they say, first impressions count, so when you hand someone your business card, a well designed one is a must. However, a cleverly designed business card, not necessarily a shockingly different one, will stand you in good stead. The recipient will always remember it and might just keep it.

The full selection of 70 inspirational designs is from Fubiz : A daily dose of Inspiration. I have just selected just five of the most innovative ones. Some are interactive like the perforated strip one or the downright honest scratch card. Another favourite is the lawn specialist's card which is actually a seed envelope. One card shows a scorched edge. The graphic designer's card with printed inch and centimetre scales on the edge will surely be one card that will be kept for it is a handy thing to have with you.
