Sometimes waiting is worth the wait, and in this case you can be the judge. While producing these business cards took longer than anticipated to produce, the details within and the careful juxtaposition of printing techniques are nicely highlighted in the final result. And be sure to check out the full Tom, Dick & Harry identity project by Mike here.
We wanted to do something unique with the layout and production value of these cards. The edge to edge offset printing on craft paper contrasted with the letterpressed details help this card fit in with the overall rebranding of Tom, Dick & Harry. But this project took longer during production than anticipated—should’ve planned better.
