Designer cards for charity

A group of designers, illustrators and photographers has been brought together to produce a series of greetings cards that will be used to raise £25 000 for the Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity.

Design consultancy StudioThomson and recruitment agency MajorPlayers commissioned the designers to produce eight cards in the hope of raising the money by the end of the summer. Rainbow Trust supports about 1000 families of children with life-threatening or terminal illnesses each year.

The series has been designed and art directed by StudioThomson and includes contributions from illustrators Supermundane and Katharina Leuzinger, who has designed two cards for the set. Photographic contributions include images from still life photographer Louisa Parry and children’s photographer Bill Robinson, as well as work from Rebecca Lewis, Peter Guenzel and Lachlan Bailey.
