Business Card Design Brief

Chen Guangbiao, an "influential" Chinese businessman, made international headlines this week with his business card...but not for the right reasons. Help Chen Guangbiao redesign his new business card - funny and/or satirical submissions welcome!

Check out his hilarious business card that he was giving out on a trip to New York, with not one, not two...but TEN titles! Let's just say they're not the most humble titles either :).

While the rest of the world is laughing at him, we want to help. This is an unofficial contest, but we'd like the DesignCrowd community to have a shot at redesigning Chen's business card. Thousands of businesses have used DesignCrowd.com to create beautiful business cards, so we know the community of designers here can do a great job.

We'd like you to create a business card worthy of this honorable businessman, while also keeping a clean, dignified design.

Funny / satirical job titles and designs are encouraged. Note you do not have to use all of Chen's titles on the card. Feel free to come up with your own creative titles!

In regard to contact details, please use dummy contact details. Chen's company name and street address are:

China Huang-Pu Recyclable Salvage & Reclamation Corporation
Shengli Road 1, Jianging District, Nanjing, China

You can design a single sided or double-sided card - it's completely up to you!

We've put $200 up for grabs for the winning entry, which we will email to Chen in an effort to have him using a much more stylish card. Who knows, you might just have China's most important businessman using your design.
