Design -16- Parallels

Today I was working on my business card and I came to a realization. Parallels work magnificently when you're working with Japanese and English. English works and reads from left to right while Japanese reads and works from right to left. The possibilities of reverse sides and flipped designs are huge. In an English application you would have a harder time having an image appear on the left side of the front and the right side of the back would cause some blocks on the back. The image is on the left, where do you go from there? You're now stuck. However if the language on the back works from right to left then that image still works like a little period at the ned of your statement.
