The Perfect Snowflake for Your Christmas Projects

by Rico on November 8th, 2006

Christmas always connotes snow, even in countries where it never does (like mine!). So if you’re looking to integrate snowflakes into your freelance project, either as a background element or the centerpiece of your design, Make-a-Flake will help you greatly.

As the holiday season nears, retailers and companies everywhere are scrambling to put out holiday-themed advertisements, posters, flyers, etc. If you find yourself working for a client looking for that perfect Christmas look, here’s a helpful site.

Sure, Make-a-Flake simulates the old-fashioned way of making a paper snowflake: folding up a paper and cutting off parts with scissors to make a geometric pattern. But because you can save your “frozen” masterpiece as an EPS (Encapsulated Postscript) file (which works in popular graphics programs like Adobe Photoshop), you can blow up your snowflake to billboard proportions without any loss of quality.
