Which category does YOUR business card fall into?
Right now, I'm trying to create a creative, funny, inspirational business card that's gonna have a strong "pass around" factor - funny as hell... or different... or something.
I gave my awesome designer, Erin Hyland, of www.jackoutofthebox.com a design assignment - actually it's not just a design assignment, it's a creative assignment.
What do YOU think of any of the following ideas?
Starters / initial thoughts: I wanted to put something clever on the back, such as:
If you hate marketers, I'm a professional speaker... If you hate professional speakers, I'm a marketer. Nyah-nyah!
- OR -
Our firm also does business under ALL of the following names:
- Someone Else ("We decided to hire someone else")
- A Different Direction ("We're going in a different direction")
- A Budget of Zero ("We have a budget of zero")
- Our Current Agency ("We're happy with our current agency")
If you're considering one of these other options, please continue to make checks payable to David Newman
Or I could go in this direction... man, is this ever TEMPTING:
What's the funniest, cleverest, wittiest copy you've ever seen on a business card?
