Paper that opens the site.

Business cards, letterhead and envelope for Amit Patel Designs®. Black, white and one gray, set in the site’s type. The cards tear in two; every half carries a word in kanji and the code that opens its page.

Business cards

Two perforated cards, 4 × 2 in. Each tears into two squares that stand alone: a name on the front, the page it opens on the back. Curious Space® shares the system, inverted: white where Amit Patel Designs® is black.

Letterhead

US Letter, folded in thirds for a No. 10. Amit Patel Designs® is a white sheet with the name whole at the head. Curious Space® is its opposite: a black sheet, Curious lit at the head, Space® set large across the foot, the letter one column in.

Inks are process CMYK. Gray is a K60 tint of the same black, so every piece prints in one color plus the rich-black flood. The PDF covers Amit Patel Designs® only: this table and every piece at 100% with trim, bleed, perforation and fold marks.
