Now is a good time to start thinking about sending out cards and self-promotion items to would-be customers and clients. Whether you want to drum up design work for yourself of any other kind of business it would be a nice idea to make an eye-catching greetings card for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah or any other festival of your choice across the next few months.

Our Season’s Greetings Project is currently on offer, whether you choose the independent or the tutor-supported versions. See more at our website www.thegraphicdesignproject.com. This would suit any design beginner, lettering enthusiast, portfolio-builder or anyone who would like to make some unusual and innovative greetings cards. As usual, this project is a problem-solving challenge rather than a craft how-to, with plenty of inspiring ideas from calligraphers and designers world-wide.

And just to get you in the mood we are taking yet another chance to show off our old book of Henry Lilly’s Alphabet of Monograms!
