Week 8: Greeting card

This week's was supposed to be on creating greeting cards and the theme was LOVEEEEEEEEEE. We were supposed to make 2 and get the class to pick the better one.


1st design:

2nd design:

To tell the truth, the 2nd one was done really hastily cause I spent too much time on the first. (and also because of the my laziness). But still it was pretty ok. But if I'm the customer, I wouldn't buy that card. Too plain for my taste ah ha.

Luckily the class chose the first one. Imagine the time I spent on the first, and if they picked the 2nd one, I think I will faint or something. Another lucky thing was that I didn't know that we could choose to turn the card into a normal postcard instead of a greeting card. Cause I didn't print the cupid love pte ltd thingy for the first one lol. But yeah, I would agree the first design suits more for a postcard.

Loads of comments given for the card because I don’t know why, the darn pink heart came out a deeper shade pink than expected and everyone thought my focus was on the heart instead of the hands. Had to explain the entire concept to them which had the hands on focus before they got the idea. -.-||| The heart wasn't supposed to be very visible, cause I was trying to create the shape of the heart using the fingers, and the viewer is supposed to visualize the rest of the heart himself/herself. Btw, the colour came out bad also for the background, so I have to tweak it or something.

Anyway, I’m considering including a few words in the center in cursive font for my selected piece. Let’s see how it goes.
