We at International Creators' Organization (ICO) are currently compiling a book of artistic business cards from around the world. If you have a nice business card would you please send it to us? Of course you may also create a special card for the book, if you wish. If you know of friends who have a very unique business card please invite them to participate also.

We plan to showcase many outstanding examples of international creative business cards in our new publication entitled MEISHI / Little GRAPHIC ART GALLERY OF THE WORLD.

This title will be a one of a kind yellow pages, or "who's who", for the creative field. Our book will be distributed widely to many people in the advertising world, such as advertising, printing, publication, TV production and so on internationally.You will also be able to feature your home page URL in our index, according to your request. This will provide you with the opportunity to not only showcase your creative works in our gallery, but also to communicate with potential clients directly or interactively.
