Zoom Calls From Hell

This was one of the most fun and challenging projects I’ve worked on for my Holiday Free Of series. The 10th edition, focuses on that cherished gift of the pandemic… Zoom meetings. It wishes viewers a holiday free of Zoom calls from Hell.

The physical card is 5x7in letterpressed with 2 colors on thick 184 brilliant white savoy paper. Using Augmented Reality, viewers are able to view a very special Zoom meeting.

Hopefully you haven’t had a Zoom call like this.
