The red and green font for an Irishman is somewhat tacky but somehow also tasteful
>red
My colorblind son
We’ve got to pump these dubs up
Luis
>my god, it even has gilt lettering
How were they all vice president?
Vice president is a middle management title in investment banking.
It’s not like politics. The company I work for has a handful of EVPs, dozens of SVPs and countless VPs
Paul Allen’s. It’s without a doubt the best one. It’s easy to look at, and it’s actually properly formatted. Tim and Dave both went an extra step beyond necessary trying to make it look better. And Patrick’s card just needs better font and alignment
>Paul Allen's card has a piece chopped off
Bravo Mary Harron
Allen > Bateman > Van Patten > Bryce
This. So much this. And also, check out the sneedigits I just got
You can Chuck those in the trash. Watch this
pretty lame guys
Gentlemen. This is how it’s done.
Kys.
But first check these digits
I can’t believe this anon prefers Van Patten’s card to mine. Also, check out the sick digits I just got. I’m definitely going to frick Bateman’s girl when she gets a load of the numerical symbols
You should check theses instead.
Bryce or allen
Bateman should be executed for the awful kerning on Pierce & Pierce
Can’t unsee it now
Bryce > Allen >Van Patten > Bateman
sorry sigma bros, his card is really bad see
>Bateman tries showing off his card but everyone instantly catches the off-center ampersand and can't focus on anything else.
Pierce &Pierce
Paul Allen is the only card that doesn't make me want to punch the guy who made it.
That thread about the book yesterday was dope
Allen > Bateman > Vice >>>>>>>>>>>>> Van Patten
Paul Allen Bateman's font is fricking terrible just look at those numbers
I like Batemans card because of the indented lettering. But the simplicity of Paul Allen's card is attractive. Also dubs.
Probably David Van Patten. Him or Paul Allen.
whats with the dots?
spaces are overrated
I like the contrast between Allen's "subtle" tastefulness and his not-so-subtle douchebaggery.
cheaper than hyphens
i hope many people were never allowed to work in film again after mispelling acquistions and missing it 8000 times in all prop design, filming and editing.
who directed this piece of shit anyway?
You clearly don't understand the film, it was very likely intentional
what was the intent? to make Pierce & Pierce look like a joke? why should I give a single frick about a bunch of illiterates jerking each other off?
It isn’t Pierce & Pierce’s fault. They’re not the ones who manufacture and print business cards. That’s probably some small shop that whipped of their business cards. But all of them are tasteless idiots who don’t know how to get good business cards. Except for Paul who was the only one with a head on his shoulders and a bit of sense and style, that’s why Patrick had to kill him
Yes, the point was explicitly to make a joke at their expense for viewers intelligent enough to notice the mistake and to realize that it was intentional. I'm sorry you only made it halfway there, it seems indicative of terminal midwittery
I think they mentioned it in the movie commentary that its a production mistake
Allen's is the most appealing on purpose. The other 3 all have something weird about them that catches your attention, finish, alignment, font. Allen doesn't have any of that it's just genericly pleasing.
these are shit cards, there's no graphic or background
If I saw a business card that basic, I would think the guy is a phony
>these are shit cards, there's no graphic or background
>zommer
None of these cards are 'objectively' the best, and the cards are so bland its difficult to even have a personal preference. That's the joke. For me, its probably Van Patten's card. Easy to read because the font is bold. The font has subtly stylized without being *too* much, like Paul Allen's. I prefer textures, so Bateman's eggshell card is out. Bryce's card is a good font, but seems weird to have a plain arial font with a textured card. If he stuck with eggshell like Bateman, it'd probably prefer his.
Luis probably had the 'best' card, even though it wasn't on-screen. The rest of them were so hellbent on trying to perfect what they thought was the ideal way to fit in. Luis had his own style and was ostracized for it, and although he was a closeted gay man he was the least psychotic of any character in the film.
You didn't really type all that gay shit out right?
Me
Dont know about late 80s aesthetics but for today
4. Van Patten
3. Bryce
2. Bateman
1. Allen
It's funny because Bryce and Allen have basically the same type but that textured paper is just such shit
Paul allen really does have the best card
Bateman. Paul Allen looks too professional.
Fix the typographical errors and it's easily Bateman's. The font is far, far more attractive than anyone else's, especually Allen's.
Why does the shitty number font go up and down. Why did he put all the info at the bottom in a long, illegible line?
Quite a few fonts have some numbers that extend below others and I think it looks OK. As for the run-on contact information, it's slightly inelegant but it's a problem all four cards share. I think the use of small caps throughout puts it head and shoulders above the rest.
Holy shit.
This wins the internet for today.
Thanks for the keks anon!
It took someone at least 100 hours to make this, but it was worth it I would say
Paul Allen for the act of being an actual card that exists to display contact information and having the address above the fax number
bateman for looks
Brice and Van Patten's are just ugly. Get ruined by the texture. Bateman's gets ruined by the pressed-in letters and the numbers. Paul Allen's is just to the point and slick. It's better by sheer fact that it's not doing anything more than the others. It. Just. Is.
I don't mind the texturing on the paper honestly
I do. It reeks of cheapness.
OK, let's see your card, big shot.
I don't have one.
bryce and bateman
The raised lettering makes Batemans the best. The textured card holders should be fired for such a shut design choice
>off by one
van Patten, no question
Agreed. A serif font works so much better, and does not have the aforementioned kerning issue that Bateman's card has. Also, the texturing of the card makes it pop.
Paul Allen's. The text on Bryce and Van Patten's cards is gaudy and distracting, and Bateman's raised text and weird text placement is distracting.
I like the texture on Bryce's but the raised letters on Bateman's is an easy win
>they all spelled acquisitions wrong
Allen > Bateman > Bryce > Van Patten
t.graphic designer
I prefer sans-serif fonts and the thicker lines on Allen's card are more satisfying than Bryce's.
If you've read the book and the commentary on it, all the combinations of clothing and advice given is deliberately bad and clowning. Had they been wearing what was actually mentioned in the book they would of looked terrible. It's a joke, since it's a book you can't see it and you assume it's fashionable, but anyone who actually had that autistic knowledge of 80s business suits and attire would realize batemen and his "friends" are morons.
Kinda neat. Apparently whatshisauthorsname spent a frickload of time on this detail
Best card is Tobias Fünke, a therapist and analyst
Allen>Van Patten>Bryce>Bateman
Bateman gets honorable mentions for having good texture but the rest of the card is just a mess, he was right to be upset.
