Card: "Do Not. Wait For Me." [Hello]

Who: For my cousin "Beng" in the Philippines.

What: A clear typographic card reading "I owe you Krispy Kreme donuts and when I have them, we'll have coffee as well." Inside reads "And in between all that will be conversations."

Why: As M.M.'s card, we used to write each other letters when we were younger. My cousin Beng is actually the older than M.M. but we've all kept in touch over the years. She recently wrote me a letter saying that if I do come over to the Philippines, I should being over 1 dozen donuts so we can have a sugar rush. That would be sweet. [Pun intendend].

Card: "Emem" [Hello]

Who: For my cousin M.M. in the Philippines

What: Two oversized M.M.'s fill the cover of the 4x6 card.

Why: Well her nickname is M.M. so it is quite fitting. Before when we were younger, my cousins here and my cousins in the Philippines would send each other letters and it was always exciting to receive a large envelope with letters inside. Because of the digital age, much of that has been lost due to email. While it does make things easier and instant, nothing beats the old fashioned letter/greeting card.

Card: "Perillo's Kiss" [Hello]

Who: For a previous client whom I provided photography coverage of their wedding anniversary in November 2008.

What: This is the photo of when they kissed right when the priest said "You may now kiss the bride." The image was processed in Adobe Lightroom to achieve its saturated pop effect. Will be printed as a 5x7 card and will open vertically to reveal message.

Why: After going to de Young Museum [SF], I flipped through a few books on the works of Andy Warhol and thought about that when creating this card. It will be sent to them to just say hi and hope all is well. [I taught two of their kids as well in the Saturday CCD Catholic school program so I can also give a quick shout out to em too!]

Product: "Wavello"

Another general card to give, the card's illustration is a hand in the front and once you flip it, the hand inside moves as if waving. Reminded me of those sketches that move when you flip the pages fast enough so this
Inside left simply reads "hi."
Your message can be written across the top and below the text.

"Wavello"

Product: "Are(Y)ou"

A card design I made earlier in the year. It's a general card in which you can send anytime. The giant arrow on the face of the card is pointing to the recipient.
Ok I'll admit: my printer is losing ink so there is banding... which is not part of the design! Nevertheless, this printout shows you the premise of the card.
Inside, "You are______" is printed and the sender can put anything [s]he wants. For example, "You are thoughtful" or "You are such a loser." So really, anything you want. haha
On the backs of all the cards are the titles printed.
