Tom McElroy is an architect located in San Francisco, California. He found us online, and placed an order with us immediately based on the fact that we’re so awesome. Ok ok… that’s not what he said. He liked our prices, but we’re still a little awesome…

Tom is a minimalist. We designed these cards for him through his direction. We offered up some pretty creative ideas, but it came down to the simplest in nature. These letterpress business cards are two color and printed on 80# kraft paper. We had some awesome kraft chipboard in mind, but it was too thick for Tom’s liking. We had our worries about the thinner stock, but we found out that it works just fine. Tom, what can we say. You’re the awesome one. You were our first official online customer, and we greatly thank you for your business.

We printed these cards with the initial statement of ‘Have you seen Oceans Eleven?’ Evidently, Daniel Ocean hands out a calling card with only his name and a simple black border around the card. Unfortunately, these lawyers needed more information on their card than just their name, but it still came out great. They wanted a simple, but classy business card, so we decided upon a hefty 220# Crane Lettra stock, with black and silver metallic ink. The silver adds just a little subtle bit of x-factor when you catch it in the right light.

The back of the card is just their two color logo which features the lovely silver metallic ampersand.

They refer to themselves as ‘The Event Boutique’, and they can certainly pull it off. They wanted a card that would make a statement to their class and sophistication, as well as make people remember them.
