Project Description
Anderson and Anthony were looking for business cards that had that ‘wow’ factor. VK Design determined that the best way to achieve this was to screen white ink on black paper with yellow for an additional pop.Production Lesson(s)
It's difficult to duplex cards and have the design centered perfectly with a border that is so close to the edge. Mama's Sauce though went the extra mile to ensure that each one was a centered as possible.
