If you need to make your own quick and easy holiday card, this one fits the bill beautifully. A small icon is centered on a colored field and underscored with beautifully set type. It works with any color and typeface, in all-envelope-fitting proportions. This 16-page article from issue 51 of Before&After Magazine tells you how a small, easy-to-draw icon can be the centerpiece of a simple design.
When the holidays are over, it can be easily reconfigured into a more businesslike greeting.
