Challenging the recipient to ponder what he has to communicate, this coaster-cum-business card offers a solution whether you have something to say or not.
Why a coaster? Because of what I wrote on the back of my business card. It’s in Italian, but in English it sounds more or less like this: “Communication design: this is what I do every day. Do you have something to communicate? Call me, I will help you. Nothing to communicate? What a pity. Let’s have a drink, now you’ve got the coaster!”
This post was published in the original layout of FPO so all images are smaller. Project descriptions as well as production lessons are quoted in the main content area.
