Roooaaarrr - The Monsterbox:


The front shows a monster with the name and URL of the Illustrator, as well as the used HKS spot colors - on the back you can find notes or small messages.

The special thing about it: The monster cards can be wonderfully used as a color pattern. By using only 3 spot colors per monster card, you can see very nicely which different effects of the colors can arise when overprinting.
