does everything look better Letterpressed?

I'm taking Letterpress this semester with Typecast Press's very own Mary Mashburn.
Our first real assignment is to create business cards for a client (a classmate we don't know very well) as well as for ourselves.

I keep a good set of 'inspiration' files going on my computer, and a lot of images in the identity folder are of business cards. I really like these cards from A Friend of Mine, Nikolaus Schmidt, and Markus Moström.











Metallics, vibrant colors, and heavy stock. Please I wanna learn!
