My New Creative Business Card Is Entirely Blank

ADVERTISEMENT

I’m Dori, a 26-year-old Artist / Art Director from Toronto, Canada. I love new and original design ideas, and I’m always challenging myself to fight the “everything’s been done before” state of mind.

One of my favorite hobbies is trying to make creative business cards. You might have seen my previous business cards here on Bored Panda which were created entirely out of crayon.

This time I thought to myself: “What’s the most simple business card design you could possibly make?” And I realized it would have to be blank. But then how will people view the information? I decided that using light is a fun way to do it – especially since we all have a flashlight on our smartphones nowadays!

To complement the clever business card design, I kept the information simple – I only kept my name, since you can easily find me on Google.

When handing out the unique design card I like to give a subtle hint: “Here’s my business card. If you’re bright enough, you’ll figure it out!”

This business card idea is created with 3 layers of cardstock, with the middle layer being laser-cut. Each card takes quite a while to put together!

Eh I don't think it's the smartest idea. When your starting a business you shouldn't make it difficult for someone to contact u. Also it seems like a lot of work to put into something that someone will probably spit their gum into.

Well that's because it's not a idea for a serious bussiness card. It's a smart idea to get internet exposure. She probably doesn't even use them. Just created them to go viral on blogs like these.

While it may not suit a business card as an idea, the idea is fun and exciting. I could see it being used for baby gender announcements, wedding proposals, larger cards like anniversaries etc, where someone sees the kind of effort that went into making something unique for them.

Back in time it could have been awesome idea for writing love letters, you don't even have to cut the letters out, just write them with light ink, paste another sheet on top of it and safely send it to home of your loved one.
