Slide to Hire

This week I spotted the clever iPhone-inspired card from digital designer Frederic Tourrou.

Maybe something like “slide to contact” or “build my app” would be [...]


Yanman Photography

This has been flying all around Facebook and I admit, it’s very clever. The execution could be better, but you gotta love the message. And yes, we should all remark on the poor photograph considering this is a photography company. I guess shooting static objects is a particular art in itself, even compared to weddings.

Hello Ehoes

From designer Ksenya Samarskaya comes this retro-inspired self-promo card. Previously having professional business cards go unused, I concocted these for informal settings.
