I had a lot of fun designing the holiday card that I sent out this year. It's a merging of my print work and some of the ideas that I explore in type and design.

Usually holiday cards are such a chore, since nearly everything has been done before. This year I tried to just relax a bit about what has been done, and just create what I was interested in.

The idea of the star came to me early in November, so it was mostly a matter of getting it all down. The type, however, was a bit more of an organic process. I had some idea of how I wanted it all to come together, but in the end it was playing around with the shapes that created a product that I was happy with. All the imagery is created digitally, using quite a few images from the library of wood textures that I have.

I hope you all are having a great holiday season. If you would like to receive this as an actual card (as in, in the snail mail), let me know and I'll send you one.
