awesome creative cards.and i wanted to know from 4th card something,
In 4th card, at the bottom right corner there is a structure aligned with lines and circles, something like how the composition chosen,
I tried in to get some information about it, and how to use it, but so far neither i found some one who knows about it nor any books,

any body have any idea about it

Yeaaahh! Got in first and fourth place! Thanks for all votes!
Hey Head Orange, I have a version of it to be printed in paper, without the plastic. Either way, I can still dream and experiment with the plastic version (one day I´m going to produce it =D). That´s how innovations happen.

Shafeek, the structure is the grid with which the card was built.
You can find information about grids on the following books:

http://www.amazon.com/Making-Breaking-Grid-Graphic-Workshop/dp/159253125...

http://www.amazon.com/Grid-Systems-Principles-Organizing-Design/dp/15689...

http://www.amazon.com/Systems-Graphic-Systeme-Visuele-Gestaltung/dp/3721...
(this one is from the German master on the use of grids).

You will probably find people that knows how to use it in universities, with Graphic Designer teachers/ professionals.

God bless you all!

Hey Anonymous, it was open at this month, either way, this card I have made in 2006 is the best one I believe I ever did. There were not any rules regarding the date of the development of the project, only rules about the authorship of the works, each one could only submit their own business cards.
Either way, I also have submited another 2 cards I have done at this year. One of them got fourth. =)
