The Ordered List business card design was recently featured on Card Observer, a site which applies the CSS gallery concept to the design of business cards.

The following is based on a description of this design that I wrote up for a Flickr post that pre-dates the existence of this blog.

These cards get love here, here, here, here, and my personal favorite.

These cards also taught me that a great idea and a great client are both essential to creating a great design. If I hadn’t come up with a good idea the cards wouldn’t have been special. What’s slightly less obvious, is that If Steve had been a tool about the content on the card, (”You know…I really need my fax number and mailing address on there…”) there is no way that these cards would have turned out nearly as well as they did.
