New Years' Greetings
Japanese "Nengajo"
Digital Greeting Cards
Copyright DP Studio
In Japan there is a custom of sending out greeting cards to friends and relatives to celebrate the new year, called "nengajo". The cards often feature imagery associated with the Chinese zodiac animal for the coming year (Rat, Ox, Tiger, etc.)
The web development company I worked for from 2020 to 2023 had a tradition of creating a fun digital online nengajo to send to clients at the end of each year. Above you can see our 2021 (year of the cow) and 2023 (year of the rabbit) nengajo. For both of these years, I was the main team member in charge of concept, planning, and coding. Asset design and illustration were handled by my fellow team members. <3
