This Christmas card issued by Central Saint Martin's College of Art & Design was designed by two members of the Graphic Design BA and Industrial Design MA courses. It incorporates a pair of mylar spectacles for viewing the night sky with the punning exhortation to 'See Stars from Central Saint Martins' - playing on the college's promotion of its up-and-coming stars of the art and design firmament and perhaps alluding to the Magi following the star to Bethlehem.
