Bateman has the best card imo

Minus one point for every card because all of them have a typo.

Bateman's is worst, because mixing text figures with uppercase text is just plain wrong.

Bryce's is best. Clean and simple, not trying too hard. It shows confidence.

Bateman's is the best, perfect color and font combination. Van Patten's has a nice font but the color and texture ruined it. Bryce's font is boring and uncreative, plus the texture looks cheap. Paul Allen's card is pretty good but the font lacks in certain places and the dots in the phone number are horrible.

Bateman's card is an all-round winner.

Out of those 4 cards paul allen defiantly has the best one. It's crisp and the words are bolded and clearly understandable with phone and company in the corners and the address in center bottom. Van Patten and Bryce have the dumb texture shit that makes their cards look like sandpaper. Bateman is a close second but the wording is a little small and the address looks unprofessional while the phone number is different heights.

If I had to accept one of their cards for business it would definitely be Paul Allen's.

>>80541145
I don't know if youre being dense on purpose but the entire point of the scene is that it doesnt fucking matter. They're almost completely identical with only extremely minor differences. Exactly like Bateman and his peers. They think they're individual snowflakes but really they're so similar that most people could easily confuse them. Just like what happens to Bateman and Paul Allen.

Let's face it - none of the cards were actually meant to look exceptional within the scope of their detail. The graphic designer that made them didn't have that kind of talent. And they have a typo in them.

They just look kind of same-ish, and the ones with noise in the background just look lame.

Allen's typeface is the best, and I honestly can't find anything wrong with his card other than it'd be nice if the cappe'd last name was a little bit more distinguishable from the first name, but that's the price you pay for that absolutely aesthetic typeface. His is far and away the best, Batman's is a close 2nd and Bryce's and Van Patten's cant even compete because of that silly raised texture background.

Allen's is clean, bold, and the indentation on the adress is a nice touch. It might just be the lighting but if that is a gradient, damn thats fresh looking.

I honestly feel that Bryce's card is the best card, but then I am biased toward Arial/Helvetica.

A personal anecdote: in an old job I was a peon among the salaried staff at a mid-sized business, and given good visuals/access/latitude to see how the business actually works, daily bookings and sales reports, regular meetings with a CEO, etc, and this period of about two years was my first and only view of what modern "office e-mail culture" is like: every node in the staff sends and copies e-mails to the appropriate other staffers, which would often include me, since I had to know xyz (demand patterens in the business/money/quantities).

We used some standard Windows solution for this: Outlook etc. You can personalize your own e-mails, put your own stuff on it. I'm a sperg so I immediately set all my e-mails to be flat black Arial text on white, with no bullshit, same with my sig and details. This is a personal choice that I arrived at without thinking deeply about the CEO's personal style, but it happens that he made very similar choices.

THE WOMEN. The women, young and old, would always clutter their e-mails with crap. Not to the point of emojis or anything (usually, professional) but goofy blue backgrounds that directly affect legibility, flowers and shit, distraction. One woman literally used either Papyrus or some other goofy font.

One day the CEO circulated to all of us in professional but firm language (digging directly at the legibility thing I just mentioned) that the e-mail styles have to cleaned up. "Please lose the bg's/try to use a simple font like Arial etc. We do sometimes reproduce internal e-mails to clients to illustrate business concepts, and these types of things make the e-mails un-readable." I did feel some vindication, kek.

>>80551128

>but they're not and that wasn't the point of the scene at all
Then you don't understand what the movie is trying to say. I don't know what to tell you, the details between cards are autistically minute to the point of obsession. It is a needless obsession with perfection and the audience is supposed to look at that scene and go "holy shit. Why do they care?" Since their behavior is far removed from what we socially accept as important. The whole fucking critique is that America is obsessed with superficial concepts of "being the best" that it has become a toxic bubble...leading to literal psychosis.

I am convinced you must be 13 if you missed something this glaringly obvious.

It's like you want to be a nobody. When people see that card, they'll only think "Carruthers", it's by putting the name as it's meant to be said that instills a memory in the recipient. "Paul Allen", "Patrick Bateman", "Timothy Bryce", I was able to type these from memory because of the order of them. The only one I didn't remember was "David Van Patten" because the Van throws of the cadence of the name; no orientation can save him from only ever being called Van Patten.

>>80541145
To break down the actual cards themselves, I have this to say:
>A card with Texture shows you can afford that.
>An emboss is meant to give emphasis, not leave a matching emboss in your wallet.
>A Fancy Font can look less professional, but more powerful.
>A Minimalist Font shows two perspectives: "I can't be bothered with details" or "My actions speak are what let me get away with using this."
>An Ampersand is a tool, not a toy.
Given all these notions, I have to say Timothy Bryce would have the best card if not for his ampersand, it looks like a teenager drew it. But it's a hell of a lot better than Paul Allen's Middle Schooler' First Time.
If Van Patten dropped the Van and rotated the grain 90°, he'd have something to be proud of.

Yes, it did so actually happen, and yes, I did so have these thoughts and feelings, as I've represented them.

I did couch my feelings every-so-slightly in terms of American Psycho, though to be fair, I'm not as, er, crazy about that movie as 4chan culture has historically been. If you're reading a "Bateman-affect" into my posts, then this is only partially by character-sympathy: I actually do write much like this when I get going on something else, in general.

I've always wondered... did Bateman decide to kill Luis after seeing his card because he was jealous about how awesome it was, or pissed about how tasteless it was?

Or was it that Luis just has a unique sense of style that sets him apart from his peers, which angers uber-conformist Bateman to no end?

>>80542485
"I can't believe this anon prefers Van Patton's card to mine"

>>80541145
Van Patten has the best one, it's the most legible, his name and number immediately pop up which is what you want from a business card.

Let's see Paul Allen's dubs

>>80541145
Bryce > Bateman > Allen > Van Patten

I like Van Patten's card stock, but the bold font reeks of insecurity and weakness. The card shouldn't have to stand out if the man is memorable.

>>80560897

Probably the unique sense of style, since Bateman was probably incapable of seeing anything Luis did as "superior," even if it happened to be.

Luis was happy being a homo doofus that "marched to the beat of his own drum" and that probably enraged Bateman, who desperately relied on conformity to attempt to hide his insanity.

Could the Eliot Rogers story be the spiritual sequel to this movie?
