Simple, Clean, and Classic June 4, 2009
Classic doesn’t mean boring as these business cards demonstrate. Sometimes, a simple design can go much further than any number of colors or wacky designs, especially if your job is all about creating sophisticated spaces. Caroline Myers used a repeating geometric pattern as the main element of her cards. Based on a quatrefoil design, the background was printed using transparent white ink to add accent to the details.
While the cotton paper we use is already textured, adding a background pattern to these cards gives them a unique visual and tactile appeal. The use of black for the text contrasts the quatrefoil pattern nicely which is broken up by two bands that run across the width of the card. The last element of these cards are the rounded corners which ties in the round shapes that inspired the background design. What better business card for an interior designer than one that is both elegant and timeless.
