Simple and straightforward, yet ever changing, the business card for Idiolalia can’t settle on a single color in which to display its information.

Following the definition of the word idiolalia (see last photo), the direction in which the design of the business cards took focused on a minimal theme involving the sole use of foil stamping. This was chosen due to the ability to incorporate the use of a holographic foil, providing a parallel between the material’s ability to fluctuate in color with the identity’s methodology of adaptability. Stamped upon a bleached white card, the foil blocking incorporates a subdued yet radiant atmosphere to catch and imprint the cards message to the viewer’s curiosity.
