Paper that opens the site.

Physical to digital, tactile to tap. Business cards, letterhead and envelope for Amit Patel Designs®: black, white and one gray, set in the site’s type. Tear a card in two, scan either half, and the page it names opens on your phone.

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.

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.
