“We still prefer physical things, because we can directly feel and touch them. Let consumers come into contact with more aspects, and use all their five senses (touch, hearing, sight, smell and taste). Retaining the feel and processing of paper conveys more emotional ‘temperature’, which is different from the digital feeling.”...

“A good physical business card can leave an impression on people, including touch and interactivity. It is irreplaceable.”...

“I think that digitalisation has a great role to play in the development of design and that it will change the future of design in the next artificial-intelligence process. Although business cards are not as popular as they used to be, they are still an integral part of business life and the quickest way to promote a company.”...

“You could design a digital business card, but as a physical object, it will need to be specially printed and that’s where you come into your own. Hopefully, it will become memorable — and that’s the reason to have/design one.”...

What makes a good business card/identity design? “It should reflect the identity of the giver first and foremost. Every element should be carefully chosen to support this message, without being excessive. It’s important to consider the physical properties of the business card. It should not only look good, but also feel good in the hand. This can be achieved by...
Lucía Ochoa — Mexico City, Mexico
“Senses such as sight and touch create an emotional bond with a brand/company/people. In addition to the fact that someone would have a small part of the company or brand in their hands, which strengthens the previously created tangible connection.”...
