How important is the first impression?

I am a true believer of first impression. I can’t deny that I had few exceptional cases throughout my life that didn’t match the first impression but still I do believe that first impression is pretty darn crucial.

Everybody is aware of the last year’s awards winning movie, The Social Network. Thanks to the Hollywood, Mark Zuckerberg became a sensational icon overnight. His creative thinking and bold movement inspired the younger generations to be more inventive.

So, when fans of Facebook write Mark a thank you letter, how Mark would respond?

Some people says paper is dying but there is nothing like receiving a beautiful letter in your mailbox that catches your breath away. I think Mark and his co-workers are same page as I am.

When Ben Barry was an Illustrator at Facebook, he realized that he should create stationery set for Mark to use for his fans. Ben chose muted tone of gray and hand embossed seal to give a classic feel. For the last, clear foil stamp on the back of the letterhead and inside of the envelope is just cherry on the top.

Maybe I should write a letter to Mark and see if I can receive the one of his beautiful stationery set for response. ;p

Let me share, what Mark Zuckerberg uses for his first impression to fans.
