But while you guys joke, he actually does have a point. Especially as a designer if you have a plain old boring card what are you doing? I hate business cards, I think they're things people get to feel important. He's right about the title not mattering, I own my own company, I can have any title I want. But what kind of a douche would I be if I said I was the CEO? But people do this all the time. Cards are things I have if someone asks for them or I need to give a customer my email address because they don't have a pen. If I have to use one I want people to be delighted by it. They will be delighted, save my email address, then throw the card away. That is hilarious, I love it. But while you guys joke, he actually does have a point.
