This Google business card from Ji Lee is a great idea in theory. It’s attention-grabbing for sure, sleek and minimalist in nature. The business card is one that won’t end up in the round file, if for nothing else than its aesthetic value.
However, in practice, if made for the wrong person, Ji Lee’s Google business card could completely thwart their networking attempts. What if the top results are intoxicated YouTube videos, incendiary comments posted on social networks and a box score from a high school basketball game in which said candidate committed 5 turnovers and fouled out of the game? I’m just saying.
