Sustainable Namecard

Printed Matter, Identity
2019

The design and concept was conceived alongside my Capstone project (Karunguni Supply Company) which delves heavily into themes of sustainability. Instead of standard printed namecards,
a stamp is used and the medium can be any flat, ink-absorbing surface. This process stamps out (pun intended) potential wastage
by ensuring a ‘made-to-order’ basis whilst also giving otherwise unwanted materials a renewed purpose.
      The namecard offers “Print & Design Services” as I was also working in a print shop at that point time. The typography was inspired by kitsch suburban signages and displays. The materials used for the namecards were obtained from surplus produced by previous projects and unwanted scraps around the house.
