With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, we thought we would start early on the whole “hearts” theme by sharing some business cards we designed recently for Santé Cardiovasculaire des Laurentides. Using warm, inviting shades of reds and purples, we kept the design clean and minimal. The logo (designed by yours truly as well!) adds to the inviting flare of the cards.

The Challenge: Create a lasting impression and attract potential training clients Challenge accepted! To best reflect the energetic nature of the trainers at NBworkout, we designed this bold, dynamic business card. When it comes to creating an effective print design, it’s about more than how it looks on the screen.  Paper and finishes are equally important when it comes to crafting quality, thought-out designs. We felt the cards should be physically strong while remaining flexible so that they would not come across as stiff. To achieve this balance between tough and bending we used a wicked 32 pt matt laminated paper. The green colour edging undeniably adds to the vibrancy of the cards as well. The fluid blue to green gradient, bright watermarked logo and perfectly matching green sides help to create the striking effect. Confident and instantly eye-catching, these business cards are exactly the sleek calling card the client was after. Another happy client and some very happy designers too. Win win!

Back in July 08′ I blogged about forward-thinking business card concepts I’d spotted. I came across this meat business card recently and thought it made a nice addition. Created by meatcards.com, the card is created by searing contact information onto 100% beef jerky with a laser.
