what color is your greeting card?

my final assignment at the world's largest greeting card company was for mahogany and tree of life. it wasn't the first time i had the privilege of designing for these lines. the first time was ten or so year ago, and while the mission was the same, pretty much everything else was different. there were all those crazy reorganizations for one thing. (which really never reorganized so much as moved people and cubicles around and renamed things. large corporations, sigh. but i mean, really?) anyway. i loved the color and the soul and the intent of these card lines. the team, diverse in every way, was tight and happy. one of the last things i did as a member of that team was to organize a trip to chicago to gain inspiration for both card lines. i know the inspiration i gained in chicago will be put to good use!

here are some of the cards i designed for mahogany.
i hope you like them!

oh, and the one on the upper right? a shout out to uncle sam. yes, that's a dollar bill in there to show there's a die cut on the cover. the purchaser inserts a bill into the card before sending it on to the lucky recipient. probably a larger denomination than a one dollar bill. since the card costs more than that. if someone downloads this and can find a way to create spendable money, i take full responsibility.

and remember, i can help you with your design needs! and take full responsibility for them. e-mail me (go to my profile) or post a comment.
