business cards in my satchel, in order of receipt
Christopher Norman (Producer & Song Writer): Coated stock, white. Rounded corners, two-sided. Strong sans serif font (Futura) in black and grey. Email and URL. [Modern and friendly, spare but not cold.]
James Sweeney (Information Architect, The Understanding Group): Heavy stock, white. Non-standard size, two-sided. Strong sans serif font (Helvetica) in black and grey, greyscale illustration on reverse. Email, phone and city. [Substantial, in both look and feel. Image & typography suggest quiet strength.]
Sam Valenti IV (CEO, Ghostly International): Linen stock, white. One-sided. Strong sans serif font (Gill Sans, perhaps?) in purple and black, with logo. Email, URL, phones, fax and cities. [Classy and understated. The purple is delightful and in the moment without being garish at all - both fun and professional.]
Each lovely, each just as charming as its bearer.
