THE (DEAD)
BUT FAMOUS
business cards, literature
A playful business card collection for historical giants

Concept
An exploration between literature and graphics, creating business cards for the famous literary figures in history based on one uncommon fact of them.
Firstly, I have chosen William Shakespeare, the father of English literature, who have invented over 1700 words of the English language.
Karl Marx - a foundational figure of the economics of the 19th century, who is most critical toward social class, so why not just blend them all!
And Sylvia Plath, one of the most relatable (and emo) poets of modern history, probably hates life, but at least she likes sun-bathing!
And lastly, Virginia Woolf, also one of the most important 20th-century authors, and one thing everyone remembers is her stream of consciousness that goes on and on.
