Hello Albania!
A few weeks before Christmas,, I was asked to produce various bars for a family’s Christmas celebrations. The bar designs were not ‘Christmassy’ at all, as I was asked to print various pictures that had been taken in the preceding months. These included two men dressed as ‘Batman and Robin’, a couple enjoying what looked […]
