1950's Inspired Stationery

Nifty is an independent stationery company that creates illustration-driven greeting cards and various stationery paraphernalia. Each
product pairs a seemingly sweet & innocent monochromatic illustration with a splash of sassy (and sometimes inappropriate) humor.
Nifty’s aesthetic is inspired by the illustrations of Cynthia Amrine, a popular American illustrator of children’s educational posters during the 1950’s and 60’s. I loved the simplified shapes and bold line work used to
create characters and their environment. I created a custom halftone pattern to match the appropriate look and feel of printing process used to give depth and interest to each piece.
