Business Card of the Day: Vandenberg Animated Lenticular Card
This client is the fire chief at the Vandenberg Fire Department @ Vandenberg AFB in CA. He wanted a business card design that was big, bold, flashy and directly demonstrates all the danger, drama and excitement of being a fireman. We designed the card using actual video footage of a fireball blasting forth towards the viewer. We exported the footage to individual frames and re-animated them to create this unique and dynamic lenticular piece.
