I was commissioned by Byrne Communications to make an edition of New Years’ Postcards and it was the loveliest way to end the miserable year that was 2022. I relished in the opportunity to have a good rummage through my plan chest and extract as many bright and beautiful paper off-cuts as possible. I loved the idea of creating something new and full of hope and potential from the remnants of other work; the perfect end-of-year-job with which to reminisce, tidy up, make new and start a fresh. Following a simple design on the front with one bold word we hit on BRIGHT as the most appropriate. Even the gold foil I used was from the gaps left by other foiled words and designs throughout the year. A perfect start to a year of promise.
