This business card is not only incredibly clever, but it exemplifies utilization of the gestalt principle. It is a graphic design for a radio station, and the information is given in a way that forms a turntable and volume controls. While at first the title of the radio station, "The Pleasure Principle" might be a bit difficult to read, it is a truly effective placement of letters to form the visual. The image and the information that the talk show hosts are trying to relay to their listeners compliment each other beautifully in this creative design. The angle of the radio station in the middle of the record point the reader's eye down to the rest of the information. Then, the vertical lines on the right sight of the "volume controls" draw the eye to the names of the talk show hosts. Overall, I am incredibly impressed with this graphic design.

I like your example. This Ad has specific elements that draw the reader to read and look at specific areas of the ad. The volume control stands out the most. It definitely cause my eye to look at the two names in a creative way.
