Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Jason Little Creates a Literal Acupuncture Business Card Design

— February 26, 2013 — Marketing
"Steve Li Acupuncture" is what is says when you hold this unique business card design up to the light. Designed by Jason Little, the cards have tiny holes punched into them, creating a memorable design that leaves a impression on anyone considering acupuncture.

The best part of this particular design is that no ink, colors or extra paper is needed in order to make this special effect. Any piece of paper can be imprinted with Steve Li's business information, and thus he recycles other, less significant business cards to create his own.

While it may seem like a bit of a slap in the face to the original businesses on the cards, it just goes to show how effective a creative business card design is.
Trend Themes
1. Sustainable Business Cards - With the rise of eco-friendly initiatives, creating business cards from recycled materials offers a unique opportunity for businesses to display their commitment to sustainability.
2. Innovative Business Card Designs - As more businesses rely on digital marketing, creating unique and memorable physical business cards with disruptive design elements can help stand out and leave a lasting impression.
3. DIY Business Card Creation - With the accessibility of design tools and materials, more businesses could benefit from making their own customized business cards as a way to showcase creativity and personality.
Industry Implications
1. Printing - The printing industry can explore new ways to incorporate eco-friendly materials in their production process to meet the growing demand for sustainable products.
2. Marketing and Advertising - More marketing and advertising agencies can offer creative business card design services as a way to help clients build a strong brand image and create a memorable impression.
3. Green Business - Businesses focused on sustainability and eco-friendliness can integrate recycled and sustainable materials in their business card designs, exemplifying their commitment to the environment.
