Last year it was 'Silver Bells' and this year its a cover of
Coldplays' Violet Hill but with diff. words for a Christmas feel.
This year we are making a special 5x7 postcard featuring a tag
team between Patrick and I! Tric drew us GV boys out and I did
the type treatment for front & back. For the first time in my
design work I used masking! I used several different watercolor
washes behind the font to tie it into the drawings that Patrick did.
For the back I did a special type spread of the angels message to
the shepards and again using the masking thing. I also included
the image of the star from a picture I took from the Macy's
building down town.
I'm scared of becoming addicted to masking!
Here's the front and the type treatment that will be on the back!

Don't overdose on those masks now, ya hear! This is a very delightful Christmas card. Elegant type treatment and very tasteful use of type on paths. I'm looking forward to eventually seeing one up close.
Bravo.
