A writer/web designer/artist should use business cards as a means of expression. On the other hand, perhaps more straight-forward professions should stick to more straight-forward business cards. Either way, you can't please everyone! It seems to me that there’s a place for both.

From the ones I have seen, I think they are unprofessional and just gaudy looking. I prefer to stick with a 100lb paper card that is either white or light gray and crisp and clean writing. No fancy fonts. Include your logo, name and best contact info. Don't include too many numbers as it will make the card too busy. Just my preference. What do you think?

The one I referenced was a very expensive die cut card and it only turned into a cube if you knew the trick. Otherwise, it looked like a normal corporate card. It really depends on your market. Sometimes you can be more unconventional. In some cases, that might simply mean using a colour like magenta! I think it really depends on the quality of the card.
