This project was focused on using variable data merge to create a postcard series for a town near me. I took and edited the photos and created a background that represents the towns aesthetic. Excelsior is a preppy lake town in Minnesota and I incorporated this vibe with a clean and slightly textured background, using a shadow cast on the cards for a calm feeling.
