Envelopes that caught my I

It looks like you are releasing all the fun contained in the envelope.

Great use of the logo for a pattern. The pattern also looks so upscale cause of how its printed. Lastly the square pattern compliments the diamond shape created by the open envelope.

Clever, clever. Once again, thinking outside of the box of the use of the inside of an envelope.

 I like how this envelope opens. Why cant the envelope be part of the letter? Way to save paper.

Clever use of imagery. The tire fits well on the flap how the flap is cut. Very subtle but I'd bet this envelope was designed for the image instead of the other way around.

Letterheads that caught my I


Love how the shield is halved and the colors are striped. Also like that the title is at the top and the chapter letters are so snug at the bottom.

The letterhead sets a strong presence due to color, one single design elements and a logo. Great use of minimalism.

I like how the pattern bar is cut into to fit the type so snug and how the title lines up with the line. Just a nice centered design.

The shape of the logo lends itself to being able to stand alone at the top in my opinion. The yellow bar at the bottom minimally pushes the branding.

This logo is fantastic but the cool part is how the stationery continues the idea.


These pages show something innocent then flip over to make the image "bitter". Very cool design and pushing the possibilities of a "static" letterhead.

A little fancy. Great branding though. Its almost an advertising cause it makes me want their product.

Love the white minimal front with the full blue back. This might just be preference.

Minimal yet effective.

Lastly, one that has a little fun. Thats thinking outside of the box.

Business Cards that caught my I

This is clever. His personality shines through the design. I also like how the type is set up on the back of the pop up image.

 Great idea for those visual people. This card is functional and memorable.

Minimal but clever. All the elements go well together.

expensive yes but memorable. The design blends a pill package and a card well.

Way to be clever without a huge budget. Clearly a dentists card.

 I'm a fan of folding business cards because they can stand and display themselves. Not to mention all the space one has for info or design elements. The tail makes the presentation that much better like a fancy billboard.

This is a witty card and not expensive. Typeface compliments the design.
 Very nice type treatment for a photographers card.

I like the fact that this card uses no ink.

This makes me think of the possibilities of using any flat surface, not just paper. A strip of paper is all you need.

Once again a folding card. It stands and it shows one of the many tricks one can do with a fold.


Not only will you remember whos card this is (the guy on the card) but it displays his ability to handle digital visuals.

A functional card. Clever use of a flat media.
 Once again a pop out fold with a picture of the actual person. Memorable and fancy.
 I dont think making a chocolate card makes sense but chocolate is moldable which opens up the many ideas one could come up with for business cards that contain goodies like moldable candy. What if the card was the candy bars wrapper?

Great idea of a Greek restaurant. Very clever. Not very functional though.

 This card is evidently edible. Very secret agent-ish. Good for the headhunter.

This card works best because of how the design works so well with the tagline. It also looks exactly like a normal business card from the front. Well made.

Memorable. Identifiable. Fancy. It says clever doctor.

 Smart use of the paper to get the content across.

Once again, smart use of the paper to get the concept across. However this one is better because it is functionally 2 cards for a separated couple. Genius yet so simple.

Expensive but functional.

Clever and probably  very cheap way to stand out.

I took these a long time ago but never posted them. I don't know why. Luckily for the owner, the stores decorum already matches the colors of the logo I designed.
