Emerson Taymor wanted a unique and creative [contact card](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-business-cards) to promote himself, so he came up with this fun card where a cut-out of himself pops up and forms a stand-up doll.

For maximum effect, Taymor used a photograph of himself with "I Am Emerson Taymor" printed on a plain white t-shirt. The back of the card provides contact information such as email, phone number and website.

Taymor is a student in the [Design & Media Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signaturesupply) major and works as an intern at The Ad Store, so this is a great way for him to showcase his talent and line up a job when he graduates.
