Business Card Tip: Go Low-Tech, Old-School!

Who says that the best business cars are the ones that cost the most, involve the most insane or unique design or take the longest to make?  Certainly not us.  I think my colleague Diana and I have more than expressed our belief that nine times out of ten, a business card that is exactly suited to fit your business is a lot better than a fancy business card that has nothing to do with it.  That said, another thing to keep in mind is that sometimes, yes sometimes, the most simple and old-school design you can think of will be sure to turn heads, a lot of them.paper

That’s exactly what the designer of this business card did, and I have to say, they pulled it off perfectly.  I can’t quite tell if this is literally just a piece of notebook paper, or if it’s actual business card stock paper that’s perfectly designed to look like it.  Whatever the case may be, both would have been exceptional and completely innovative.  Either way, we love the old-school design that literally looks like someone slid a piece of wide-ruled paper into a typewriter and created a new, quick and easy business card.  They even included the hole punch in the upper left hand corner.  How genius, how completely original.

So, as you head down the design road to your next business cards, why not think old-school, vintage and throw-back.  There are a million things you could do to bring the old-school back in and switch it up on all those people that opt to go super-modern and high-tech. Old-school is in, and old-school is now new-school.  Remember that!
