Abstract
A novelty communication object, such as a sign or printed object (book, brochure, greeting card or the like), and method of making, wherein at least one page, surface or sheet of the object has not only directly visible images, but also a plurality of cut-outs or other portions at least partially transparent or optically reactive to light, which can become visible when a user shines an illumination source such as a flashlight at the page and projects an image of the transparent or optically reactive portions onto a neighboring wall or other surface, or backlights the transparent or optically reactive portions for direct viewing. The plurality of transparent or optically reactive areas are preferably selected so that the illuminated image has a different visual appearance than the directly visible image, thereby enhancing the overall narrative content of the communication object.
