so I'm making a Thanksgiving Day card for a large corporate client.
They've been using a lot of foil in recent years and want something different.
I'm using a mountain scene in Autumn, I popped the saturation and did a water color effect on one proposal... they liked it the best.
Since we're already doing a blind emboss for their logo, I'm trying to talk them out of using foil... the ideas are just too tacky.
In an effort to compensate for the lack of foil, I thought I might try putting metallic flakes in the yellow ink of the CMYK build, but my pressman thinks that won't work well. He suggested doing a spot varnish, but then looked at the rough draft and thinks -- for protection purporses -- that we'll need to varnish the whole photo.
Maybe mix in a little transparent white into the yellow? Maybe mix in a little gold metallic ink into the yellow?
So, any suggestions on how to get the ambers, oranges and such from the mountain scene to pop?
