European Commission | Christmas Card

 


“Let’s do something handcrafted.”


Receiving a handmade Christmas card is something special, because you can see that a lot of love and care went into its creation. “Let’s do something handcrafted” became the central idea for the European Commission’s Seasons’ Greeting in 2016.

Every year, the European Commission prints thousands of Christmas cards for staff to send to heads of states and government, stakeholders and of course family and friends. Handcrafting each card is clearly not an option. Instead I created the visual by cutting the trees and landscape out of paper, layering elements on top of each other to create shadows and depth. The paper creation was photographed in a studio.
