While I’ve seen all of this, I thought, “I have been collecting screenshots of these for awhile, I should post some”. I usually spend a few minutes each day looking at some of the newest websites that come out to see what trends are going on and get some ideas for inspiration for future use. I use Evernote to collect and organize all of these screenshots which then syncs all of my computers with the same info, as well as my iPhone. It’s a great tool.

Here are some of the best websites that utilize textures and the grunge style;

Below are some of the best ones I came across. My intent on posting these isn’t to become another gallery for business cards but rather a quick reference for myself in some well designed, creative cards.

Like any project, there are certain elements that you are working on that I wanted to incorporate so these cards best represent those elements. There were a lot of cards that I thought were good that I didn’t include as well as some of the cards below I probably wouldn’t have included on other projects, but for the most part, they are an inspiring start.

I’m not going to list all the sites that I collected these from but here are a couple that were the easiest to browse and had the most creative cards.
