Then I saw a PCBA business card (with components!) and was amazed. But now I just see them as unnecessary e-waste for vanity. Business cards get read, scanned, and tossed. At least the impact of a piece of paper and ink is small compared to fiberglass resin, copper foil, ENIG, and solder mask. This example isn&amp;#x27;t even that great as a business card: the typography and contrast make the contact information poorly legible compared to the component silkscreen. Amazing PCB art (&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;grandideastudio.com&amp;#x2F;portfolio&amp;#x2F;projects&amp;#x2F;the-worlds-thinnest-boombox&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;grandideastudio.com&amp;#x2F;portfolio&amp;#x2F;projects&amp;#x2F;the-worlds-th...&lt;/a&gt; is the best I&amp;#x27;ve seen) makes creative use of the different contrast, translucency, and textures between exposed and masked copper, masked and unmasked bare FR4, and silkscreen layers. It&amp;#x27;s a very constrained graphic design problem that takes a good eye.</text></comment>
