Money Business Card & Minimalistic Letterhead

a587947ee82ce7bd2b1e6b1b714b4a46 Money Business Card & Minimalistic Letterhead

My goal was to create an original and especially a very personal corporate design. Since I have just completed my graphic designer study, my contact info will change constantly over the next few years. Therefore I created a letterhead and a business card that can be updated easily and cheaply. For the business card I’ve used old and expired bills from my fatherland Nicaragua. The latest contact info is then applied with a stamp. I pre-printed the letterhead without information. The address, the sender, the customer data etc. comes on to the backside, so the frontside just has the pure text. The logo emerged at the beginning when I built me a stamp with letters.

As an unborn you always hear the heartbeat of your mother. When you get born and get rocked, this is waking up the feeling of total protection, comfort and safety.
