Standard 3.5 x 2 business cards won’t cut it these days, especially in the design world. I can’t tell you how many business cards I throw away (or just avoid grabbing in the first place) because it’s plain old black ink on a white 3.5 inch by 2 inch piece of paper. It’s almost to the point where it’s an annoyance to see them. Thankful there are a few people in this world who share my same views and have done something to destroy that old standard. Below we’ve gathered 25 unique and unconventional business card designs for your inspiration, hopefully after seeing these you will go burn your current standard/boring business cards to spare us all.

The 14 Weirdest Video Games Ever Created
The world of video games is nothing short of creative. Starting back in the early 1980s, when graphics were limited, both developers and players had to use their imaginations to ensure enticing gameplay. And, as games have become more sophisticated, ideas about what games should be have become increasingly complex. Now, you can create just about anything.
With that said, many games have gone the route of completely weird, and even off-the-wall insane.
From their concept to their graphics to their gameplay, there are so many aspects of weird and quirky games that are indescribable. Here is a roundup of some of the weirdest games in history, starting all the way back with Atari. Some are incongruous, others are head-scratching, and still others may terrify you a bit. But all of these games are real, and really, really odd.

30 Crazy Designed Business Cards Which Will Capture Your Attention
Nowadays there are many ways of promoting your business but a business card will always act as a cool factor. Even if the internet is more efficient to get noticed, that little piece of paper is just as a great watch: people will notice it and they will remember it. The purpose of a business card is to be given, kept and used. If the first step can be achieved easily, the last two are depending on how great your business card is. In order to be successful it must have a great design and to get the user’s attention right from the start. A great design will be achieved by being creative and bold; if the business card is boring or ugly, it will probably end up in the trash can so it is vital to impress the viewer from the very first seconds.

Here's Samsung's Brilliantly Bizarre S4 Event That Had The Tech World Freaking Out
Samsung is often accused of copying Apple. Last night, no one was saying that.
Its event to announce the Galaxy S4 was one of a kind. It was the sort of over-the-top ridiculous event that only Samsung would, or could, deliver. It must have cost millions of dollars.
In Radio City Music Hall, with Broadway actors, Samsung set up a bunch of scenes to act out all the new features of its phone.
For the most part it was panned by the techno snoots.
Personally, I thought it was pretty good. It took less than 50 minutes, so it didn't drag on. It wasn't yet another boring phone presentation where one guy stands on stage and drones on about specs that even I don't fully understand before another guy gets on stage and does a boring demo of a new app.

30 Far-fetched Examples of Surreal Art & Photography
It is the utmost desire of every designer and photographer to present stunning ideas to captivate the eyes of others. For this purpose they try to introduce something unusual and exceptional. Surreal photography is the hook of the same chain where designers and photographers present far-fetched ideas in such a way as cast a point blank spell on them.
This art involves regular compositions by changing their angles and perspectives into ghostly forms and abstract shapes. You can also find the same examples in conceptual and infrared photography. Professional photographers are strengthening their routes in the world of surrealism. No doubt, it is a different type of art on account of its meta-physical conceits and implausible ideas and to present it in a masterly manner is not very easy.
