Look back: 14 years of the greeting card design
//
Back in 2004, due to my first job failing to pay employees salaries for months, I had to start working with my own clients.
To thank those who helped me go through the toughest financial moments, I started sending them new year greeting cards with my own designs. The complexity of the design increases every year.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the design or a hard copy of the cards anymore.
雞 2005
Year of the Rooster- my first set of new years cards.
狗 2006
Year of the Dog
My 2nd year of greeting card design. Can’t locate the original design, either.
豬 2007
First time using the Chinese Zodiac as the theme. The postcards are printed on translucent PVC cards.
鼠 2008 Year of the Mouse
Not a big fan of the mice/rats, so I chose to handwrite calligraphy with mice related greeting words on the card that has a more generic design.
牛 2009
=> Year of the Ox – 好牛 (Good Ox = Awesome)
虎 2010
=> Year of the Tiger – 飛啊，虎爺！(Fly, TigerGod!)
兔 2011
First time tried the art & craft theme.
龍 2012
=> Year of the Dragon – Origami折紙
蛇 2013
=> Year of the Snake – Threading
馬 2014
=> Year of the Horse – Typography
One of my favorites.
羊 2015
=> Year of the Sheep – Creative Tangram
猴 2016
=> Year of the Monkey – Origami 2
雞 2017
=> Year of the Rooster – Golden Egg Guardian
狗 2018
=> Year of the Dog – A Zoetrope Card
