I Heart These Business Cards
Despite the fact that I am very much a web designer with the emphasis on web, I get suckered into doing business cards for existing clients every now and then despite the fact that I hate, hate, hate print. The Proofreading Girl’s card was really awkward to do, simply because the email address and URL are so bloody long; justifying them on either side broke the centre line, and centring the contact details just looked… lazy.
It seemed natural to extend the text somehow, so I came up with this. There are not a huge number of ways to make your cards stand out when you’re doing “€3.99 for 250 cards” printing at VistaPrint, but I think this is pretty damn clever.
Tip: VistaPrint prints reds darker than your colour values; the preview colours after upload are an accurate preview. Which explains why these are hot pink; they will print in a more plummy shade.

Very nice and very clever way to put in the contact details.

I’m impressed with your creativity!
Job well done.
