Yes, this one was probably chosen because of the llamadillo, but for as crazy as that animal is, the type is clean and professional. The back is not as great, but the line work is really appealing on this side of the business card and the red slab is a "strategic execution" because it is intriguing and it really makes me want to turn the card over.
This is such a cute idea, and it really is a sticker. The name tag template is spot on and I think he did a great job with the hand-rendered text (I would, however, like to ask him about the reasoning behind the purple), but he really dropped the ball on those bottom bits of information. It's a random typewriter font that does not go with anything. And as a creative he should know that black on red is really difficult to read, made even more difficult by that font that he has to tightly kerned and way too bold.
This business card is one of my least favorites, ironically because he is a graphic artist. Last week Blake asked about print shops we know of, and this is one NOT to use. How can you take them seriously with this business card. There is way too much information and just as many different typefaces. It is so cluttered and hard to read. There is gradient! It was a cute little mom and pop store and they were super nice, but their print jobs were definitely sub par.
This is money from Singapore. I do not know what their official language is and these characters do not look familiar at all. This bill is actually really gorgeous but I wanted to direct attention to the type at the very top left-hand side. It looks like someone hand wrote it with one of those pens that vibrate. And along with the outline around the other type, it makes the money look very unofficial, but it is so difficult to critique a totally different alphabet.
This was just added for laughs. That is how long it has been since I cleaned out my wallet.
