If you’re living in Montreal and happen to use STM’s transit on a regular basis, you might have acquired the new Opus card that was released awhile ago, in spring ‘09. From an utility standpoint, the card is definitely more convenient to use than the old tickets that you had to buy, back in the days.

Although, from a design perspective, the card is lacking of a bit of creativity. I mean it’s a card. For Montreal. We don’t deserve some sort of standard, corporate design on our transit cards, right?

Well, there’s a graphic designer, Melissa Nougier, who had the cleaver idea of starting OpusLift. Opuslift.com is a “collection” of multiple designs, where you can find many patterns and templates to pimp your card! Also, if you already have some work that you’d love to share, you can submit it to the website. Don’t worry, if you want to avoid the hassle of conceiving a template for your own card, there are already tons of designs, waiting for you to stick ‘em.

Have a look and enjoy.
