Giuseppe Profilio, a film director, came to Joan Massó for a set of new business cards. He did not need a large amount produced, and he was looking for something that spoke clearly and directly about his methodology and approach to his work. Inspired by the slogan Everything fits, Joan provided an in-the-moment experience for his client, who is able to assemble his business card while having a conversation with the receiver. Giuseppe carries the pieces in small plastic bags that he unveils and assembles on an as-needed basis.
Furthermore the cost of the business cards was kept modest by printing the labels in a single color, and using colored stock for the puzzle pieces — red, green and blue, as in the on-screen colors RGB.
