Collab with uni students produces printer’s special Christmas card design
What do you do when you’re a greeting card printer and need a festive design to send to all your customers – run a competition to showcase keen young talent!
The collaboration between Loxleys and Sheffield Hallam University saw the second year illustration students enter their designs into the competition last month before Leah-May’s festive post box scene was declared the winner.
“Each year, Loxleys posts over 200 Christmas cards to publishers, designers and industry friends to celebrate the festive season and show their #cardmitment to the tradition of posting cards,” explained marketing coordinator Heather Bull.
“Her design has been produced and posted to businesses up and down the UK as part of the GCA’s Festive Friday campaign and will be enjoyed by many this Christmas season.”
Having received 100 cards for herself, to share with family and friends or sell if she wishes, Lean-May said: “I got the privilege of my Christmas card design being chosen by Loxleys, I’m thankful for the opportunity.”
Heather and the marketing team added: “Congratulations Leah! It’s been a joy to see your design come to life, your illustration work will be enjoyed by many this Christmas season. We hope you enjoy the rest of your time at university and look forward to seeing more of your illustration work in the future.”
