The business card is one of the best pieces to use to break outside of the proverbial box. Unfortunately when you get out of the box it’s easy to also get out of the budget. How do you reach that happy medium?
Start where you are. If your client can only afford a single sided card with square edges, try a graphic treatment that will be remembered. Cant the words to one side, try leaving most of the card white. Only include the extremely necessary information. Add stripes or light lines to simulate the ridges of an expensive paper.
Low budget doesn’t have to mean poor quality. It simply means you have to be more creative.
To get your creative juices flowing, I’m gonna include some cool business cards I love that came from the Flikr Business Card pool.
Use your name creatively. Notice this card would not be outside the scope of a small budget
Film Studio?
Go retro. This card has a definite touch of class. Notice the die cut.
If you have somebody to assemble, something like this can be done fairly low-cost as well.
If the camera breaks, he’s ready!
Get a little forensic evidence with the card for a hair stylist.
Dog tags for a Greyhound adoption agency. ‘Nuff said.
Card is inside. Awesome idea.
Leave something with your client’s they can enjoy!
Hope these are inspiring to you! I’ll post some more later!
