InformationArt business card
Elixir Design, Inc., San Francisco, California, 2000
Description
The client is a digital artist whose work is driven and informed by data. As she was starting up a new business in an essentially nonexistent field, she needed an identity system to assist in making contacts. In keeping with her vision to inject art into the otherwise purely functional, the solution elevates the content of each piece over any form of traditional “identity.” We deconstructed the word “informationart” across three separate folders and distributed her contact information across four separate business cards, each embodying her approach and aesthetic in print form. This phone card, with a different number on each side, was a particularly difficult production problem, requiring perfect back-to-back and laser die-cut registration. The client has found that these cards to be an ideal springboard for discussion about her work.
