Peter Chordas – Bilingual Business Cards

After relocating to Japan, I needed business cards (meishi) in both English and Japanese. I recently updated my business cards with a new design which I quite like, so I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel here.

The Inside Scoop

After relocating to Japan, I needed business cards (meishi) in both English and Japanese. I recently updated my business cards with a new design which I quite like, so I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel here.

Without significantly altering the visuals of the card, I pulled my (no longer current) phone number off the front, and turned the back into a Japanese only version.

Fortunately, I did some work for Japanese clients back in the States, so I contacted them for new testimonials in Japanese to put on the back side of the card. I also used a little Photoshop magic to create more space for text on the back side of the card.

Overall, I think it looks pretty good!

My Favorite Part

Having a bilingual business card is my favorite part—LOL!
