That is one of the most genius business design idea's I have seen in a long time. Cheers

cool idea on an old concept.. Next gen.. something good for the environment... hopefully you just simply respond to each other with pdalike devices.

Business card still more personal and something you van look back on easily to find a company. If I would had to search between a big phone book and dont remember the name its quite hard to find the company again. A business card with a very own thing and design is much easier to remember then just a name.

HA! Here is something unexpected that made me think of this thread.

"Does anyone remember having one of those cardboard animation boxes as a child? ... You know, that thing where you had two pieces of cardboard one on top of the other. ... So that when you moved placed them on top of one another and move the bottom cardboard left and right, by viewing the changing image from the cut outs would give the illusion that the image is animating. At a whopping 2 frames! Do you remember how amazing you thought it was back then? ... Alex Walker has successfully this sliding animation through CSS."

HOLY COW! CSS?!

Here's how it's done...

thx nancy, doubt people would resize a site to see it animate though.

I think the point is that when something like this is created - somethng neat but relatively worthless - someone else will come around and use the technique for something smart and cool. This is definitely at the "whodda-thunk" stage. It'll be interesting to see what comes of it in the future!

I also appreciate that someone came up with a way to make it happen in CSS. I enjoy and admire his (her?) savviness, creativity, and solution-minded thinking.

I thought is was pretty smart, even if still impractical today -- and if I were to scale a browser window and stumble upon that animation, I'd be tickled at the surprise of it and, indeed, scale a rescale a few times to see it again! I love hidden suprises!!

probaly would had been easier if they use flash also can animate much better. Nowadays actionscript can do more and more. Like the rollover effect you see in our forum header.

I like it! I think you'd have a great niche market for that.

**Lago** · 08-17-2008 04:22 PM

That is pretty sweet. Just when it seems like everything's already been done that could possibly be done in the world of business card design, someone comes up with something fresh and amazing like this. Love it!

It's really good! Fantastic job! 2 thumbs up!

**ain** · 08-27-2008 06:28 AM

Very nice job indeed and even nicer idea. Keep up the good work!

**stlthriot** · 09-11-2008 12:12 PM

very wicked idea! always love seeing new concepts of things that already exist but with a new twist!

**FireLizard** · 09-28-2008 09:35 AM

The concept is great there's alot of different variations you could do to make several different mockups for companies with a more abstract view of getting attention or being remembered.

** Also checked out your site you have some amazing stuff on there

keep up the good work,

Wow nice..Very creative.

**tresher** · 10-13-2008 01:18 AM

very beautiful but it functionalities wouldn't help the mid sized corporations that consist of basically to show no complexities of understandig in their services. it must be kept simple if the client is selling fundamental products things that insure our safety or the food industry ,where using the darker spectrum tones of the prism can make food /look/taste/rotten. those kind of cards are favored by entrepreneurs and PR-sphere and not favored by bankers or politicians. thank god

**sirmortimer** · 10-13-2008 11:50 AM

never seen anything like it. looking at youtube video and trying to understand production process...

**Guh3** · 10-14-2008 02:47 PM

That's Fantastic! One might be able to rig self-moving version in a fold-over card, like in the children's books "Gallop" & "Swing." It'd be pretty thick & cost a few shekels but the end result sure would be nifty.
Hmmm....

**Yanuar** · 10-16-2008 09:29 AM
