1. Sydney’s Cakes Designed by Dustin K. Friesen

“These cards were designed for Sydney Hursey – a fresh, new baker of cakes who created the mind-blowing cupcakes for my own wedding.

Being still in humble start-up stages, Sydney was on a very tight budget for these cards. I set out to to create a circular card, appropriate to the fact that a plethora baked goods are indeed circular. I designed a logotype intended to feel retro, cheerful and fun to convey her own stylings and personality and tried to choose a color palette to reinforce that as well.”

2. Howler Designed by Priest + Grace | Printer: Studio on Fire

“Designed by Priest + Grace for Howler magazine, these oversize business cards are an amazing example of what a good design and a little tonal ink can do. Howler magazine is a quarterly publication for soccer enthusiasts in North America, so it only made sense for these cards to reference the size and color of actual penalty cards used in soccer.

There are several production techniques we used to successfully produce these cards. First, instead of printing all of the information blind we used a tonal ink color (a red ink on the red, yellow on the yellow). When something is printed blind it relies solely on good lighting conditions to be legible. Our solution is to print using a tonal ink, which creates just enough contrast between the artwork and the paper to make your contact information visible. Secondly, these cards were printed with fronts and backs up on the same sheet, duplexing the sheet after printing. This allowed us to run a heavy impression on press but then conceal the impression show through by duplexing the sheet back to itself.

The red cards are printed on Mohawk Via Scarlet Vellum 80C (duplexed to make 160C) and the yellow cards are on French Poptone Lemon Drop 100C (duplexed to make 200C).”

“Like any business card design, the intention was to create a card that was memorable, useful and wouldn’t just get thrown away or discarded.

Cement Solutions is a small business that work to help ensure the environmental clean up of one aspect of the drilling process in the oil field. It’s a tough work place and the concept for the business card really needed to reflect that. After all, who doesn’t want a cold refreshing drink at the end of a day of hard work.”

Finally, we printed the letterhead and envelopes on butcher paper— the same paper they wrap their sandwiches in.”

18. PlaidLab Designed by PlaidLab

“These over sized plaid pattern business cards were designed by our good friend Mark Saunders for his new solo creative venture PlaidLab. They use some great vibrant colors and the overprinting inks make rich and saturated secondary colors.

We letterpress printed them on heavy 220lb Cover Crane Lettra Pearl White. We usually run smaller custom business card orders two cards up on a small press sheet, so it was easy to provide some variety by including two different patterns. The magenta color is the same on both cards, but a color change from orange to blue on one plate gave the cards even more variety. One thing we did to keep the quality of the type crisp and punchy was to print it as a separate pass. By printing the same color in two passes we could run the large graphic plaid with heavy ink density and light ink density on the type. Mark was shooting for something about the size of an iphone, so the final cards were round corner die cut to an over sized 4.5 x 2.25.”
