the request for the business card (and other things) are exaggerated.

I don’t like the card, is ok but nothing extraordinary, I will go as far to say that if this design should have been proposed to a reviewer on graphicriver it would have not been accepted. I don’t understand what was used from the “Great Business Card Mock-up Pack – 4 Styles”. I can’t see no similarity, apart off course the dimensions, but those are standard.

As a useful critique, maybe the text on the front should say “Envato Elite Author” and probably an “Envato Elite Client” (or something like that) version should be made also for people who bought a certain amount of items.

I think some of you don’t get it. It’s not about buying a $250.000 business card, as if it would have been made out of golden-walrus-baby skin, or as if the colors and aesthetics should match a quarter-million dollars.

It’s about the fact that you have earned such an amount of money, that you are able to request this business card. Compare it with a Picasso painting: he could have drawn 3 red lines onto a canvas, and it would now cost millions. Why? Not because of the 3 lines, but because it was drawn by Picasso. Now imagine you get the right to request such a painting.

Very cool!

I find it funny, though, that the more “elite” an author becomes, the less need they have for business cards
