Rather than going with the idea that bigger is better when it comes to self-promotion, this small portfolio designed by Rob Burke is designed to showcase his body of work in a business card-sized space.
The 'Ultimate Flip Book Business Card' has multiple pages that can be flipped through, showing off tiny blocks of text and tiny images. The sides of the micro-sized portfolio can be pulled to start the fun flip book action. On the back of the card are QR codes that can be scanned to take people online to find more information. Now that he's perfected his business card, Burke has plans to launch a Kickstarter project later this year to share this fun type of pop-up business card with the world.
