The greetings card can be an effective medium for publicity and corporate identity. This example, a millennium and Christmas greeting for Branson Coates, designers of the Millennium Dome in Greenwich, South East London, wittily juxtaposes a scene inside the dome with a conventional representation of the Christ Child, whose birth the millennium celebrations purport to commemorate.
