Who's card what better?
Why did Bateman think that Paul's was the best when it was clearly not?
I'm beginning to think Bateman had 4 personalities
Paul's is the most retrained and minimal; no texture or nothing. It's almost beautiful in its simplicity.
Oh my god....it even has a watermark.
>>68824834
Paul's is fucking angelic
Rare card, do not steal.
>>68824834
>when it was clearly not
I could try to explain it to you but you would never understand
>>68825372
Please do.
Bryce's card clearly a best
Van Patten's clearly a shittest
Allen's card > Bateman's card imo
Carruther's card in a league of its own shittiness
>>68824834
They all are the same, fucking idiot.
No difference.
>>68825663
>That tacky toilet paper texturing
>Best card
You're so wrong
>>68825731
>no difference
Do you see Batman's card? That's bone. And the lettering is something called Silian Rail. Taste that the other Vice Presidents can't compete with
>>68825353
>he puts his name on backwards
why was Carruthers such a fag?
>>68825372
The lettering is flat which is something I dont have the taste for. Looks tacky, like it wasnt professionally printed
>>68824834
we're all agreed Van Patten's was the worst though, right? Or at the very least no one could claim it to be the best.
digits observe em
>>68825731
PLEB DETECTED.
Personally, I think Bryce's is the best. The sans-serif font is milimalist and in the late 80s, would have been very ahead of the curve, yet is accentuated nicely by the texture of the cardstock, which I can only imagine has an exquisite feel in the hand.
IT WAS A FUCKING MOVIE. WHO GIVES A SHIT?
I love this thread.
>>68825353
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING
>>68826090
Hothead please go
Allen > Bateman > Bryce > Van Patten
>>68826090
Oh yeah, you're right.
Thread's over everyone, back to off topic shitposting.
>>68825969
Besides Carruthers', yes.
>>68824834
>the numbers 3, 4, 5, 9 are all sunken for Bateman's card
I will never stand why someone would make this decision while designing a font. Totally disrupts everything.
>>68825918
Debossed lettering is objectively tacky unless it's a result of hot foil blocking.
Spot UV varnish is clearly the way forward if you want to give typesetting some depth.
>>68824834
paul's is the most professional and clean looking
definitely the best
i'd say
Allen>Bryce>Bateman>Van Patten
Bateman's is basic bitch while Allan's is just as restrained while showing a bit more style. The texture of the other two mark them for rubes.
>>68826181
This is correct.
>>68826181
This is incorrect
Bryce>Allen>Van Patten>Bateman
Bateman's is clearly the shittiest
>>68826288
>>68826388
finally
GOD TIER:
Bryce
Tasteful Tier:
Van Patten
Allen
Meh Tier:
Bateman
Holy shit faggot what the fuck are you doing Tier:
Carruthers
>>68826190
>/
that's because his mind was all sunken
This thread has made me question my entire life. I can no longer decide what order the cards go in.
>>68826461
>god tier
>bryce
>tasteful tier
>van patten
what are you on m8 I need the same
>>68826190
>>68824834
BRAVO
POTTERY
The joke is Bateman goes insane over the most trivial shit like a business card when no one would think twice about it
bryce > allen > bateman > vp
debate me
>>68826278
UV varnish is trashy as fuck
reminds me of the tacky party invitations for childrens parties
Would not take any man with a business card like that seriously
Why couldn't they spell acquisitions properly?
>name in bold draws you to the center of the card
>texture allows you to connect the card with a sense of touch
van patten's is objectively the best
I can't decide if Paul Allen's choice of separating the address and contact info into two lines was a good choice or not
you're overrating bryce's card, the layout is nice but the texture looks like shit
paul's is easily the best. simple, clean and easy on the eyes. paul was the most admired and "hip" character of the group. his card is more modern and reflects that
Paul is the best for making it look clear and the only mistake is putting dots in his number instead of spaces
>>68826603
Yeah fuck off m8
>>68826603
and what is literally everyone in this thread doing?
>>68826603
everybody in the office care about their business cards but bateman but yea, bateman takes it to another level. it's just not true that no one else bats an eye.
Batemans is clearly the best. Wtf
>>68824834
Van Patten would be 1st if it weren't for that shitty paper texture.
>>68826058

/tv/ - Business Card Aficionados
Why did Bateman and Bryce put too much top margin on their cards?
>>68824834
it's because of the tasteful thickness of it
>>68826609
It's only trashy if it's overused, like foil.
ok no repeating digits?
come on it's 2016
are you fucking lazy?
Having non-uniform business cards when you're all vice presidents at the same company is really fucking unprofessional.
>Allen gives Bryce his card and tells him to call him
>All their cards have the same phone number
>>68824834
Because of the tasteful thickness. A man like Paul is clearly a 450gsm guy
Why did they enlarge the font size for their last names?
>>68826800
Nice.
>>68826729
>that shitty font
>that awful embossed text
>best
let's see Paul Allen's card..
>>68826881
Oh yeah ? Are you a vice president at some company faggot ?
>mfw they all have the same number
>>68826911
More important. You don't want to emphasize the first name, that's to informal
>>68826881
They're fairly uniform, excepting the kind of paper and the font. Trivialities.
>>68826911
They capitalized it
>>68826881
After the director level it stops being about professionalism and starts being about dick waving.
>>68826941
It's the line office line. They don't take direct calls.
>>68826969
its all capitalized, you dummy
>>68827032
Let's see Paul Allen's dubs
>>68826957
>They're fairly uniform, excepting the kind of paper and the font.
That's worse. It makes it look like they trying to be uniform and fucked it up.
>>68827083
They were absolutely perfect
>>68824834
graphic designer here, patrick's card was clearly the best one. he just got apeshit about the others' because he was an insecure faggot.
>>68824834
Paul's is objectively the best as it's the only one with consistent typesetting.
All the others mix lower case with small caps like true plebs.
>>68824834
Paul's is perfect. All the others are just too busy looking, too tryhard. Paul's isn't trying to pretend to be something he's not, he just is what he is because he's the real deal.
>>68824834
copperplate is trash
Allen is a trendwhore
>>68826190
It disrupts the horizontality of the text. It's supposed to make the text look less austere and more soft on the eyes. It also has a more traditional and old-fashioned ornamental appearance
>>68827183
you're one shitty Graphic designer then
>>68827230
>Allen is a trendwhore
Implying that was bad in the 80's. They're all trendwhore's Allen is just better at it. He keeps current
Bateman's card has a typo.
>Pierce &Pierce
>>68827294
desu senpai i'm actually am.
>>68824834
Paul is objectively the best.
Minimalistic, stylish with a consistent font and easy on the eyes.
Bryce's second place. Stylish and it has a neat texturing but inconsistency between capital and lower letters makes it worse.
Patrick and David are tied in third place. Both have big no no's.
David's has a consistent font, but the positioning of the words and the texture of the card is shit.
Meanwhile, Patrick's card is the most minimalist one of them all, but the font is complete shit and it's sunken, quite bad.
>>68825353
Card worthy of a peacocking faggot.
>>68825353
>Two different colours for the text
>both shit
>no email address on any of them
yeah they all suck
>>68825663
>Disgusting Pale Nimbus sans serif
>Plaster texturing
what a shitty dub thread
>>68825310
What is a watermark on a card, could somebody explain that to me?
>>68826403
I agree. The ampersand in Pierce & Pierce pisses me off
>>68824834
Batemans is the best ITT
This thread proves we can have serious discussion about American Psycho, provided that no one gets dubs.
>>68830769
Dubs you say?
>>68824834
How come they all got different fonts on the company name? Shouldn't that have its own font, like a logo of sorts?
Why are they all VP? and VP of what?
>>68824834
Allen's is clearly the best.
>Clear white background, no shitty texture like Bryce or Van Patten
>No shitty white drop shadow on the text like Bateman
>Dots between the segments of the phone number separate the sections the best
>Address and fax information are on separate lines rather than one big line
>Classy font with no bullshit sarifs or pretentious styles
>Every letter is capitalized
It's indisputable.
I'm posting in here just to fuck up the thread.
>>68827232
The only correct answer, and why Patrick's card was the best.
The point of this scene is that they are all essentially the same. The other guys in the office are presenting their cards almost jokingly, whereas Bateman sees it as an intense competition because he is a [spolier]psycho[/spoiler]
Paul Allen's really is pretty. I have Bateman's font on my resume.
What is Paul Allen's font?

/thread
if you don't think paul's is the best then you're absolutely retarded.
They literally consulted the most prestigious designers for this
>>68834390
If that's how you interpret it then you're wrong. They all definitely care about whose card is the best, you can see their reaction when they look at Paul Allen's card.
>>68825353
biggest doofus in the business
>>68824834
The real question is why are there 4 (>>68825353 sorry 5) vice presidents?
>>68827458
of ourse you are, just... a shitty one
>>68836689
this
>>68825353
love the gold might be tacky for some
