I have a slight (ok, more like a major) fascination with business cards.  I love the way people infuse their personality into the design and layout of the card.  I’ve found myself drawn to a few particular design details in business card designs, so I thought I’d share a few favorites with you!

1. Cool use of pattern and negative space in the design:

2. Typography details and double-sided printing:

3. Unique shapes — from circles and squares to ninja stars:

4. Laser-cut details and cards that transform into new shapes:

Anyone else have business cards on the brain?  Or am I alone in this minor fascination?
