Project Description
This was the business card developed for Kaboom Communication Design. This was an exercise in simplicity and modernism. We avoided colors in our rebranding of the company because we wanted to highlight our work and needed a branding that would take second place to the work we produce. This business card was the first printed piece of our rebranding efforts. We endeavored to avoid clichés that would typically befall a company named "kaboom" and decided to use a simple typographic treatment to best express our "explosive" nature while showing enough class and restraint to communicate that we are a high end design bureau, and understand that space and form are the simple ingredients to making the loudest noise.Production Lesson(s)
The greatest challenge we faced during this project was the practice of removing all unnecessary design elements. Cutting the fat. This challenge then became our mantra as we decided to pursue the limits of what we could leave out.
