Business Cards for The Map Project by Dana Steffe and Samia SaleemBusiness Cards for The Map Project by Dana Steffe and Samia SaleemBusiness Cards for The Map Project by Dana Steffe and Samia Saleem


CLIENT

The Map Project is a tool for cre­at­ing and shar­ing maps with your friends.


BRIEF

These cards were designed to reflect the same ide­ol­o­gy of the product—a tool to share places or notes with oth­er people.


APPROACH

We approached the busi­ness cards in the same way we approached our product—to cre­ate some­thing sim­ple that brings delight to the user (or view­er.) We want­ed the expe­ri­ence to be mem­o­rable and thought the act of explo­ration was impor­tant, which helped us in decid­ing to use things like the win­dow and sleeve. The end result is hope­ful­ly some­thing peo­ple will want to hold on to. 

PRODUCTION LESSONS

Holding delicate detail with silkscreen is challenging on the best of days, but doing so on text weight can sometimes offer even more resistance. It can also be difficult to keep colors cohesive when aiming for the same Pantone values on light and dark stocks.
