Business card idea

My idea for a business card is of course to attract the persons attention by being different. As our lecturer had cleverly pointed out a business should not be too big as the person should be able to put it in their wallet to keep it safe. I took this advise and tried to do the opposite. My idea is to make the business card smaller and to try and use both sides. My idea is as follows:
On one side of the business card to have a vibrant block colour with a famous design quote using a font called "messy". And on the reverse of the card i would have my details:

Name
What i can do
website
email address

I do not want to use a logo for the reason that i dont want people to recognise me because of the logo, i want people to recognise my name. Although i do understand that a logo is one of the most important aspects of brand identity, i believe that it should only be used for a company not a single person.I have done some printing and found the following card size to be not only attention grabbing but big enough to have all the information i want without looking cramped. I will have betwen 20-50 different cards which will have diferent colours and quotes. My designs are as follows:

The reverse of the card will look as so:

  1. Very good idea Sava. Well done! I really like it and think it covers what a card should cover. Really like your idea. Now, start thinking about the material, maybe you find something out there that could make your card much more interesting!
    Remember when you work in your CV to start creating an identity, think how you can translate this same idea to your CV presentation.
