Aug 8 2008Questionable: Guy Makes 3-D Business Cards
Some guy named Emerson Taymor had himself some 3-D business cards made. It probably isn't a new idea, but hey, it's the first I've seen it. Regardless, I found them kind of questionable (even ignoring the goofy picture). Don't get me wrong: I love wearing 3-D glasses as much as the next guy that dropped acid with his bagel this morning, I'm just saying they seem gimmicky. But being the intrepid reporter that I am, I gave Emerson the benefit of the doubt. So I visited his website to find out what kind of act he performs for birthday parties that warrants such an unusual card, and hello placeholder! Wow Emerson, I don't even know if you can make balloon animals. But you have inspired me. To include a phone number on my business card that I may activate some time in the future.
Hit the jump for two more pictures of the 3-D cards in 2-D form.

Thanks to Romain, who can make 4-D business cards.

After a quick Googling this guy looks to be (SURPRISE, SURPRISE) A web-design college student.

It wont matter while it is sitting in the trash.

Hey Emerson, can you please send me a few dozen of your business cards? They would make the best bb gun targets ever!

Could be designed better, it's probably annoying to try to make them flat again without any backing. Also not very practical. His divorce cards that rip in half are hilarious, though.

The card is very creative.. That is one sure way of advertising yourself or service from 9 to 5 as it will probably be used as a decorative item on someone's desk.

OK, this is about as interesting as dirt!

he's already one step ahead with the goofy glasses but I'd still feel compelled to draw a curly moustache, blacken the teeth and draw a willy on him
