Assignment 5: Love themed Greeting Card

For this assignment, we are supposed to design a love themed greeting card. Being a hopeless romantic, i have totally no idea how to go about doing this assignment.

However, was browsing thru some photos and the idea of a silhouette struck me. Decided to go with the theme "holding on" for my first design.

here goes:


Version 1 - Front and Back


Version 1 - Inside


Once again, kena stuck after doing the first one.. cracked my brain and came up with the second one:

Version 2 - Front and Back


Version 2 - Inside


Comments from classmates:

the red one is too glaring. and they bought up a very important point: how is the cardgiver going to write on a dark red surface?

tat didnt cross my mind at all!!

for the second one, comments included the font being not too appropriate. also the yellow overall was too glaring. too much yellow is not good as it seeks too much attention and gives people an uneasy, "jaundice" feel.. wats more, the theme is "love"..

really got it hard from frens in terms of my color choice.. >_<

another friend suggested trying out motifs instead of a full colour.

well, i guess i will be incorporating elements from both my versions for my final artwork..
