Thank You! Mailer

I'm making a self-mailable thank you booklet to be sent to all Law School donors over the past year. I wanted to use colored shapes set to multiply and layered on top of each other; whenever I see it, I think it looks amazing.
And to make things better, I could bullshit an excuse; "each bar represents one program featured in the booklet that donated money helps support, so when all the bars come together the 'thank you' message appears."


Not to be, though. I was told the front needed a picture and less colored bars; always with those damned pictures.


I am happy with the insides, which didn't change from my original draft.
