    Final Version



    This piece is in done in CMYK color mode and has a full bleed on the front. The fonts I used were Rockwell and ATC Laurel. I converted my colors from spot to process because spot colors would cost more to have printed. I chose to use the color yellow because it is not a gender biased color.

    There are two versions of this file. One is for males and one is for females. On the front I used a COB of a person celebrating and on the back a Duotone Raster of a person with records surrounding him/her. Also on the back, I used a yellow vector box to give the back some color and to help tie in the color of the front of the postcard.
