Invitations, greeting cards and self-promotion material are used to transmit personal information and special events to a particular audience. Often, a degree of complicity is established between designer and client ; an intimate expression of creativity that allows for greater artistic freedom.

500 Greetings offers a fresh, innovative look into the universe of visual personal communication and identity. Through the works of an exclusive selection of artists, designers and illustrators, this book explores in-depth a world of infinite possibilities, styles and techniques, from those relying on the latest technology to those that result in a declaration of love for tradition and the simple sophistication of using paper, scissors and heaps of creativity. 500 Greetings is a lavish, surprising and eclectic compendium of great projects created by some of the most talented minds working in graphic design nowadays.
