HOW Design 2011 Business Annual – Page 79
As other designers may know, creating your own identity isn’t the easiest task on the planet. I struggled for months to really capture who Miaso Design really is and what we are really about. Given the fact that my last name means meat in Polish, I based my design around meat packing. I used French butcher paper for the letterhead and chose triple thick chip board for my business cards. I had Accucolor Printing here in Chicago do the letterpress as they are the best in the business, and that’s just what I wanted to convey.
HOW Design Magazine was seeking entries for letterhead systems so I decided to submit mine. I just received the November 2011 issue and voila! Here it is. I am very proud of this accomplishment. You can get the issue here
Cheers!

Even though your business cards are giving me a George Costanza wallet, I carry it everywhere so the awesomeness can be close to me at all times. For reals, the coolest cards I’ve seen – and felt!
