I'm lost without you.

Our brief was simple. To create and send a postcard and get it returned to our address before the critique, failing to do so would result in out work not being marked. Easy. The only problem, the address couldnt be visible and had to be a challenge for the postman.

Brain was now in over-drive. I was initially thinking about creating a crossword puzzle, pirates map, or maybe even a dot-to-dot but soon decided it was a far too obvious route to go down. I also wanted to create a beautifully crafted piece of graphics work.

After many hours and countless cans of red bull, I decided to use light as the backbone to my project. I love how light is such a powerful medium and yet is so widely available to us all.

This is my postcard, in normal situe:















This is the postcard after being held up to the light:














Simple yet effective.
