BILLINGSLEY

Tom Billingsley was an up-and-coming Vancouver commercial photographer well-known for his love of Polaroids. We designed his business cards and letterhead as a tactile motif for the technique. Each card was punched with an “iris” hole and came with its own translucent sleeve, which served to mimic the opening of the developed Polaroid. Each sleeve was also printed with a cross-hair, which was revealed through the “iris” when the card was inserted into the sleeve. We echoed the treatment in the letterhead, where the folded paper revealed the “iris” printed on the reverse side.
