This project is going to involve 2.5" x 3.5" collection cards with different designs on them. A bit like playing cards or top trumps for instance. There are a collection of cards. I am interested in designing cards with several different variations of styles and information. The cards can be saved, shared and even given to another person and used a bit like a business card as they can be given to others as a means to keep in touch and connect with new people. 

As I stated in earlier blogs, I want to have three main types of cards:

1. Character cards- will have certain scenarios with people and how they might be living their lives and how they got connected

2. Fact/statistics cards- will have facts about connecting and statistics about positive aspects of connecting with others verses being isolated

3. Contact/ business type cards- that one can actually give away, adding their contact infromation to keep in touch with people they meet

The following sample cards are a variation of one style I am playing around with for the back side of the connection cards. I am working with the idea of creating a small message on the tiny piece of paper, maybe something simple like " Coffee sometime?" or "Lunch?". On the back side of the cards there will be a photograph and either statistics about people connecting in a physical environment and the benefits of doing so or maybe a character and a bit about that person's life or some cards will have a blank area on the other side, which can be use to add a person's contact information; phone number, email, etc.
