Christmas cards, especially "religious" ones are either so stuffy you can feel and smell their bad breath or so fluffy sweet, they gag you. For this, I really just tried to produce good art.
I just finished up on this Christmas card design for New Reformation Press and I'm pretty stoked on it. I'm a huge fan of Albrecht Durer, (thanks mostly to my college drawing professor) and some of the old printmakers. I tried to mimic the look of his woodcuts, consulting his work constantly throughout. I also attempted to give this an aged, old, texturey look.
I actually did all the images separately, and then put it together at varying opacities in Photoshop. This was a fun, but challenging project to work on.
You can order the cards in bundles of 12 here at New Reformation Press.

Great Card. Love the use of wood grain effect. Very effective.
Very nice. I love how it evokes the old engraving style and yet is very fresh as well.
