Where I can get exquisite business cards that leave an impression designed and printed?
Does anyone have any experience with a company who does this or can refer me to anyone? In my experience, that’s not really how it works. 99% of clients want nice business cards that are, well, business cards. Designing these is a well-trodden path and thus is a smooth oiled machine that delivers excellent product, rapidly, at low cost. But a client who wants something really out of the ordinary (like those linked at CreativeBits) is rare, because it’s so costly to run off the beaten track. But working in your favour, designers will often chomp at the bit at a chance to explore the unknown – when someone else is prepared to foot the bill to let them play. Some places, of course, have their system, and don’t really like their boat being rocked by someone who wants something from outside the comfort zone of that system. So what you’re probably looking for is a design outfit that does work in various media. If they have their own press and printers, and offer business-card design+printing
