My partner’s father and grandfather were magicians and a couple of years ago, we inherited their magic books. They are a treasure trove of vintage imagery and typography and I’ve been thinking of all the ways I might integrate them into artworks. One idea is a set of surreal postcards. In this tutorial, I’m going to take you through my process of creating a design for the first of the set, using LAYOUT and HALFTONE by app developers Juicy Bits.
