I found an interesting tutorial and was inspired to try it on my own as a basis for a page in the kids’ baby books. I did this one for Caleb’s book and I am brainstorming what to do for Cece’s. My process was a bit different from the tutorial (as I tend to do) as I wanted the text to be editable and not mess with making all those unneeded brushes. I left the text layers as vector and grouped them. I then set the face image to a clipping mask and applied the invert mask over that layer. Anyways, enough technical talk – here’s the image. It will be for a 12×12 book. Really excited to print this one up!

I love the result.

Real Estate Marketing Postcard Series. Originally designed to be a 12 month campaign, the client expanded to over 15 months because of the positive feedback he was getting from the postcards. The back advertised photos of featured monthly listings along with their list price. This was an effective way to include snapshot useful information along with the eye-catching graphic and message on the front of the card.
