Casual graphics

The opportunity graphics is a sub-field of commercial art . These are graphic sheets that are designed and printed on specific occasions. They are often “bread items” for graphic artists, but they can also be an amusing part of the work of an artist. Occasional graphics include New Year's graphics, moving notices, birth and wedding notices, business cards and thus almost everything that is on the edge of graphic art .
