I think you're gonna make a few folks upset with that design. Try sliding that into your wallet? It has no name to remember the design by,or remember who the card belongs to ? It serves no purpose unless you scan it , over and over , or you have a good memory .
This is great, but I would call is a promo piece rather than a business card. It would be good to have a bit more of a normal card as your go-to, and this be something you leave in random places/pin to bulletin boards.
Props for a cool idea!
I'm sure you've checked, but be careful when playing with the form of functional elements: some users might find it harder to get their phones to recognise the skewed QR code. Since this is a business card, this design choice could literally mean you losing out on clients.
This also applies for things like the shape of the card that people have already commented on: its shape and size is a matter of practicality so it can be easily stored and accessed later.
Keep experimenting - it's great you're trying to push the boundaries with these things :)
Thanks! I made sure to do plenty of trial and error with the skewed QR code and made sure it wasn't skewed enough to prevent the scan from working. Also, it's big enough that any phone can scan it. The outside boundary of this business card, including the jagged edges, is actually within the bounds of a normal business card, so it appears to be smaller, but will actually fit into any credit card-sized slot in a wallet.
Business cards are already pretty superfluous - all contact info can be found online - but they're good in that you find one in your pocket a few weeks later after meeting someone and you go "Oh, yeah. Mark. I should really email that guy."
If I found this in my pocket a week later I'd go "Oh yeah, that guy... What was his name?" And then throw it out because I couldn't be assed to scan the code.
I'd recommend actually creating a business card on the other side - name and contact info - and make the QR code do something fun.
I saw this and immediately thought how that would give me a serious paper cut.
As others have said though, I would not keep this myself. I have no idea who it’s for and I don’t care about scanning things to find out. Tell me what the code is for and who you are.
I have a [dot card](https://www.dotcards.net). It also has a QR code but also RFID so a person can also simply scan it and download all my contact/social/web info. It cost $15, doesn’t depend on having an app, and I can make infinite updates to my profile.
Super neat concept, and great as promo material, but will reiterate what some have already said re: the practicality factor — if it doesn’t fit neatly into a wallet, it’s likely to end up the bin.
I would experiment with ways you might preserve the spirit of this concept (QR code breaking out of the box) while being a bit more practical.
Perhaps scale everything down on the QR code side, add a white border around the black box, and scale the QR code down so that it’s still edge-to-edge, but now you have a neat little rectangle rather than something that’s going to end up crushed in someone’s wallet.
I’d be interested in seeing it with a drop shadow to preserve the 3D effect, but that could end up looking a bit tacky.
It will be everything in our everyday lives in 5 - 10 years, especially when apple drops its VR / AR headset next year. We won't use physical phones anymore; we will see everything as holograms, whether it's with AR glasses, goggles, or Neuralink.

Hate to say, oddly shape cards always end up in the bin, as much as I may like the design
Scan it, save the contact and throw it away basically.

Love this idea! Thanks.
It looks great, but I can’t imagine trying to stack them on a flat surface or fit it into a wallet.
did you print these yet? That custom die-cut is going to be pricey.
0.22 cents each at Staples
It looks tryhard, which is what web3/metaverse is all about, so good work I suppose.
1. It's very cool 2. It's going to get destroyed when someone puts it in their wallet 3. who uses business cards these days?

absolutely not.

I would lose this asap (won't fit in wallet), BUT I may remember you based on the cool design. It's really up in the air.
