Business Cards on X: build this knot
Business cards are a small, satisfying design problem, and designers on X share their work, print experiments, letterpress and foil finishes, and the occasional disaster from the print shop. This knot is set to images so the feed works like a portfolio.
Cheap-printing promotions are filtered. Add designers and print studios you admire as members, and use the knot when you are looking for ideas for your own card.
