WHICH BIZ CARD SHOULD I PRINT? YOU DECIDE!
First off, thank you so much for all the great submissions! I had no idea what to expect when I put the call out last week. In fact, I wasn’t sure if anyone would take me up on it. I am deeply grateful for all the work that you have put into this little contest and have been humbled by people’s (some complete strangers) willingness to contribute. It is things like this that cause me to fall in love with interweb all over again. Before I can get one of these bad boys off to the printer your job is to tell me which one!
Here’s how it will work:
- There will be only one day of voting - June 2nd
- To vote, comment below with the #’s of your top two favorites. I will choose between the top two vote getters. The winning design will go to print this week.
- PLUS, be sure and visit the links of the fine folks who contributed! They deserve your patronage more than I can begin to say!
So, without further ado, I give you the submissions:

Jesse has been on staff with Willow since 2002, most recently as the Creative Director for Student Impact Willow’s high school ministry. This past November, he produced the VOX Film Festival with partner Participant Media (the production company behind THE SOLOST), which gave teenage film-makers the opportunity to have their work screened by Hollywood executives. When he’s not busy at his day job, you’ll find Jesse working freelancing for organizations like Bono’s ONE CAMPAIGN developing media to further compassion and justice initiatives. In 2007 Jesse directed Christianity Today’s REDUCING THE RISK 3, a DVD focusing on child sexual abuse in faith communities, as well as DEEP DARK SECRET a documentary about a single young woman living with an STD.

I am mathias burton, a designer in Detroit that loves God and makes stuff. I just finished my BFA at the College for Creative Studies, and have been freelancing with various clients, writing grants, and plannign a wedding. I like cheese, long walks on the beach, fruit, and my favoirte color is golden yellow. The card I have made for you uses platelet, a typeface designed for Emigre Magazine, and it has the reference to the rethinking of things we see every day. The shapes surrounding, reference structure and also serve to block space for you to write onto your card, or better yet, stamp onto it. I chose platelet mostly for the awesome b that it comes with, however, it’s history I think shows reference to your position, a new way of looking at church and what people receive from it.

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” -T.S. Eliot
My “occupation” is a kaleidoscope of many things: I’m your local coffee shop barista, small business entrepreneur (handcrafted journals), graphic design intern, and aspiring photographer. I’ve lived just outside of Dallas, TX for most of my life but often find myself back in my hometown of San Francisco. I love to communicate through many mediums with the aim to express life— to make beauty loud. Visit Courtney’s Etsy shop here
