Redesigning my business card


I've been working with the print shop on a self assembled papercraft business card. My initial mockup relied on strips of adhesive which has been difficult to get manufactured for a small run budget. The print shop can score, die-cut and perforate which still gives me a lot of options. After several experiments and advice from co-workers I created a built-in lock/tab into the card which is working really well in my mockups.

I debated whether to make the arm cutouts more detailed. I can make the silhouettes more accurate but I like the idea of making the art fit that form. I especially had fun trying to make a thumb stick out without actually using space outside the box. I still have a few areas to work on.

Now I've been working on what to put on the back of the card. I like the idea of leaving a template for anyone to make their own designs and flip it inside out to show them off - like a blank Dunny. I could also put another character or version on the other side, or put the same character but from the inside-out, like my brains, or make it like a cyborg, or little hamsters running on a wheel... ooh maybe I should include stickers too, like mustaches, monocle, ties, etc!
