CLIENT BIRTHDAY CARD #2

I design the client birthday cards every year. This year I came up with a vertical tri-fold that acted like a present that was opened as the card unfolded. For extra effect, we placed colored confetti in the card which falls out in the recipients' lap when unfolded completely.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIG AL!

I am responsible for designing custom birthday cards for my-coworkers. I usually make them over-the-top (and a little uncomfortable) simply for the shock value the moment the card is opened. "Big Al" is an avid hunter and recently told me about a deer he killed with a machete - which he later butchered it in his barn with the same machete. I couldn't resist this "surprise" accordian-fold execution. No pun intended.

READ ALOUD!

I love reading to my kids at night, which may be why this is the second illustration I've done recently promoting reading. I recently entered this in the "Reach Out and Read" contest in Kansas City. Stay posted for the results!
