There are two sides to every business card. OK, anomalies do exist: some cards have multiple personalities; others are soothingly holistic ...and we'll deal with those later. But generally, with the two-sided variety, there's the side with something fancy on it and the side with the info, the guts. For some people, though, that's going too far; they prefer one-sided cards that fit inside plastic wallets inside folders, so you can flip through without the inconvenience of having to get the thing out. That's a little too regimented for me, as apart from the sides, there's the edges, the texture and the smell of cards to enjoy. Plus, they look nice propped around a desk, pinned to the wall or, if they're 3-D, stuck on top of your Mac. Getting back to the duality of cards. What most cords do is tell a stranger something
about you, On the one hand, something very conscious and concrete, about your physical place in the world; and on the other, something subconscious and less easily defined ...about your personality. Unless of course you work for a massive corporation, and everyone from the CEO to the most junior salesperson has the same card. (This is to be avoided.) There me choices to make from the word go, about the information you want to impcnt. You may give only your mobile number, i.e. you're a nomad; or you might position yourself entirely digitally, in the ether, via a web address. Then there's how you define yourself; whether via a job title or a self-imposed epithet. With new ways of working (at home, on the road) and with many more people multi-tasking, these days cards have a lot more to say. Whatever information you
or difficult you, or your designer, makes that task. When we start to consider the design of a card, other choices you make will give a whole lot away about your personality, How orderly are you? Do you keep your cards in a mini folder so the edges don't crease? That will dictate the dimensions. ille you strapped for cash and hate to spend money on printer's bills, so you make your own cards from scraps and scrawls? Are you so achingly spontaneous that you need a new card every day, firing up the Mac before you leave for that important meeting? ille you glamorous, traditional, inventive, austere, colourful, still playing with toys, ostentatious, functional? And, if you're a designer, this is the one you want them to ask: are you creative?
05
All these ossumptions and more erre made about you whenever you hand over that 55mm x 80mm rectangulcrr cord. But why stick within the limits? There's a whole other world of business card solutions out there. On the one hand. you have those super inventive solutions with the most minimal of means. black ink on white card, not much bigger than a matchbox. that say it alL You can even have fun with those instant business card machines at airports and stations, if you're so inclined. On the other hand, let rip; throw out the rule book and reinvent the wheel. You don't have to spend a fortune, but some people do, There seems to be a boom in business cord design right now, made more possible by the proliferation of sophisticated but affordable image-making technology and techniques,
And anything is possible; this is what the evidence points to ... Found objects and stationery; customizing a mass-produced item; folding, cutting, ripping, sticking; WOOd,metal, plastic ~ the possibilities are limitless, and that's just for the "body" of the card, the stock. Then there's how you apply the "rnorks" - rubber stamp, letterpress, colour Xerox, spray can, four-colour, specials. UV spot varnish. silk-screen printing, potatoes. And finally the imagery: photography, illustration, collage, pattern, type. Cards are handed around, so think of how they feel. Cards break the ice; perhaps yours prompts a particular question. Cards can prompt a game; they may act as a portfolio, an exhibition in your pocket: they bare your soul.
06
This book is a collection of business cords. a very personal selection by Michael Dorrian and myself. Michrrel started it with his obsessive collecting, asking everyone he met for their card. He'd rifle through my desk looking for new ones I'd accumulated. Some I'd keep to myself though .. Making no excuses for our tastes in graphic design and visual statements, this book isn't a comprehensive one-ofevery-kind collection; it isn't a didactic "how to" manual either. There are no chapters; instead the contents are arranged into overlapping sections according to a card's aesthetic: so typography turns into illustration, into photography, into special materials, then assemblages and do-it-yourself.
Michael and 1 think this selection of cruds is inspirational. How did we choose them? We put out the word to contacts far and wide, as well as following up on cards in our collection. The "wow" factor was the final decider. Did a card make us stop in our tracks and say, "look at that!"? They did, for many different reasons. The only problem now is that you might want to take a second look at your own card. If you want to contact any of the people in this book, their details are included!
