As an envelope designer, you're probably thinking, "What's the point of all this?" The point is, with a little creativity, you can create an identity crisis for anyone.
Let's start with the basics: the art of crafting the perfect forgery involves a deep understanding of typography, color theory, and the art of misdirection.
First, you'll need to choose a font that screams "I'm a functioning member of society." We recommend 'Bangers' for its bold, yet elegant feel.
Next, you'll need to pick a color scheme that says, "I'm not a complete and utter failure." We recommend a bright, eye-searing combination of Color Schemes for the Clumsy.
Now that you've got your foundation laid, it's time to add some flair. A well-placed typo can go a long way in creating a sense of urgency. Just ask your local DMV about the importance of proper proofreading.
