The Art of the Business Card

Guy Kawasaki has a nice post about his new business cards designed by Justin Ruckman. I was very inspired by the design and took a shot at something for myself.

I don’t really want a black business card, so my immediate thought was to try red. The slab serif font (Serifa) felt right to me. Overall, I’m pleased with the result. I wanted it to feel a little edgy, but still professional. I think I’m going to try another version in a different color with a sans serif font (Officina, I think) and will post the result.

    That was actually the first color I tried after red. It looked a little too “Tide“.
