Christmas Card
The City Church
Illustration Design and Character Development
The aim of this project was to create a fun, customized Christmas card. The clients wanted a unique idea to share with family and friends, so I envisioned a concept that would characterize the family. The illustrations had to capture the personalities and physical looks of each individual on the card.
Final Design
After interviewing each family member and capturing both physical features and personalities, custom characters were developed to encapsulate every unique detail about each person. These were printed and shared with family and friends during the holidays.
Meet the Characters
Tami
Adventure is her middle name. She never backs down from a challenge, but knows how to have a little fun too! Watch out, she’ll be the first to throw a snow ball.
Jerry
Jerry loves people. He loves sharing the Bible with people over a hot cup of coffee. If he isn’t caring for people, he’s enjoying his family or a ride in the sunshine on his motorcycle.
Amy
She is the sweetest person you’ll ever meet. She loves cute clothes, her fiance, and having fun. It’s rare you’ll see her without a smile on her face.
Jake
Jake loves to be in the center of the action, is a big team-player, and loves to encourage others. You’ll hear him at Charger’s games cheering the loudest.
Jesy
Jesy is the cool kid on the block. He likes to strike out and make his own path. He can light up any room with his charismatic personality.
Jery
He is a gentle soul and a true introvert. Jery has impeccable taste in fashion and can’t wait to be a father with his beautiful wife.
Martina
Last but surely not the least, is sweet Martina. She’s a fellow gentle soul who is both graceful and gracious. Along side her husband, she too is passionate about fashion and her growing family.
