Year of the Tiger

December 17th, 2009

Tiger-Shiba

Our New Year’s Card design for this year. It’s a lot harder than you might think to put convincing tiger stripes onto a Shiba Inu puppy. I had to use several different tiger photos to get just the right stripes, and spent a lot of time with color, brightness, and contrast correction. But I got it done, and Sachi printed out and sent the actual cards.

Happy Holidays!

P.S. — when we made the design, we hadn’t yet heard of the Tiger Woods embroglio.
