Don't let the small size foul you - the business card is one of the most important pieces of corporate identity a business or person has. It is sometimes the only piece of information left behind after a contact is made; just a small, but insistent, reminder of a person after the physical presence is gone. Everybody has a business card: all sizes and types of businesses, even individuals create a card. It is the common denominator at all business meetings and will probably continue to be, despite changes in other sectors of the business world.

Customer Reviews

poor quality
Business cards in this book generally lack any quality of design and would appear to have paid to have their work published...not a good resource if you are looking for quality innovative design...

An excellent sampeling of business card design
This book should not confuse the viewer that it offers design concepts, rather it is a view book of the more outstanding business card designs.

Color, screens, typeset; all incorporated into a stunning identity of the corporation/business and the individual who is representing them. From contacts to networking, you only get one chance at a first impression. This book will show you examples of how your business card can be one of them!

A recommended purchase for any designer who likes to keep a high quality refrence library on hand.

it doedn't have subject order
i am not completely content,because i can't find all the cards for one theme (e.x. graphic designers) in one area specific of this book.
