Frederic Lootens is a Belgium-based design who operates under the moniker FRED+ERIC. The splitting of his own first name yields two more, giving clients the impression that his one-man shop is actually a partnership.

There’s also a bit of a fill-in-the-blanks approach at work, although Izzie didn’t make use of it. I like HA’s [...]

This is a quick one. It’s a card for Razorfish, equipped with a QR Code. If I remember correctly, this code didn’t quite work because it tried to bring me to a website which would download the .vcf, but the intent is good. Except, if I were to scan your card and get the info, [...]

I spotted these very sharp cards from Nathalie Cone, design out of Baltimore.
