Patent Christmas Card Design

Software & Skills used: Adobe PhotoShop
Description: I was asked by someone in my company (CAS) to design a holiday card for one of the departments. They gave me a mockup someone did that was truly awful. This was a holiday card they wanted to send out to all of their subscribers and partners to say thank you around the holidays. In the past, they had done a patent design, so I took that idea and searched online for patents related to the holiday season. (We had to keep it generic for those who don’t celebrate Christmas) I ended up designing a card with a star tree topper patent design. This turned out so well that I decided to do one with a Christmas Tree Patent (pictured) for myself. This is the version I have posted because the other one with the star was owned by the company.

I searched online and found the original patent and image and I took it to use as a reference. I added the texture and the greeting and used some layer tricks to construct the card.
