GREETINGS by a card

Wishful cards

Its been awhile but im Back (: So for our most recent assignment, we were told to design greeting cards.. yes, greeting cards. Not as easy as it seems, though. The cards we are bound to design must come in a series and this series must have 5 cards of some element witch connects with one another. For example, their colour tone must be the same, such as 'black and white' or maybe all your cards have been binded, Simple. here are a few examples (:

This series has the similarity of photographs of kids

This series has a similarity of patterns, any patterns will do as long as the colour combinations and designs have a connection

The cards can be based on almost anything from weddings to birthday wishes. My ideas? my lecturer had given us a tip that we should concentrate on something we were good at and i was told im good a sketching, therefore, i continued to finalize my ideas with what i was told, here are some of my ideas. more to come (:

This is an example of a tetris like idea that i thought of as i loved the example similar to such (:

More to come, the colours and visuals.

Fonts, Colours and Emotions

Hala! so today was our tutorial on FONTS and COLORS and what emotion fits in both categories. Don't understand? Let me explain. 

We were to download 'special' fonts from the internet that somehow connect with an emotion or personality aswell as a colour, for example, the word 'sophisticated' shows perfection, depth and a hint of boldness. Here's an example of my opinion on 'sophisticated'

Doesn't this font and colour, purple, show a sign of sophistication or in other words, well prepared? i had purposely spaced out the letters to give the effect an advantage and VALA, magic. amazing, no? Note, this is also my lecturers favourite and considering she is a designer herself, it boosts our confidence alot in knowing what a professional has done to succeed (:

Our little assignment was to come up with 8 different fonts and colours that include BLACK, GREY, WHITE, RED, BLUE, PURPLE, BROWN and PINK onts to connect with an emotion or some personalities and 1 that describes you, your name. Here are a few examples of what i had come up with and what i had thought, suited best for each emotion.

TADA, a new level of understanding of design for a 'designer in the making' (:
