Christmas Card

Morrigoon · 12-12-2007, 02:05 AM

So someone asked me to donate my time creating a Christmas card image for cards to be given (with stamps) to the homeless at a big Christmas dinner thing this guy in one of our offices is organizing. Went back and forth a bit on the design (he originally wanted a bunch of homeless people loitering in front of a church... I suggested a couple holding each other and looking up at a Christmas Star. We compromised and went with Jesus with his arm around a homeless guy, looking up at a Christmas Star)

Anyway, not my greatest work, but it says what it needs to with minimal fanfare:

That's pretty swell.

Wow. Honestly, I think that's one of the greatest cards I've ever seen. I love the subtlety. If I saw that in a store I'd definitely grab it. Truly great work!

Morri, that's beautiful and eloquent in the simplicity of the message. In a word, perfect!

Good job! When I first saw the picture (before I read what you wrote), I thought you took a picture of a card in a store that you like and wanted to share.
