E-card designs

This week I feel like I’m progressing better with this assignment as the other assignment (A9- Outside the box) is out the way. Last week I didn’t do much for this assignment as A9 took my full attention but I am back to trying my hardest for this project.

This week at college seems quite stressful, as the team had to get the pitch completed for Friday. I didn’t have much to do with alteration of the pitch presentation but the atmosphere on Thursday was tense and quiet panicky.

This week for self study I have been doing some e-card designs, I have enjoyed doing them. Last year we got to do some sketchbook work but we haven’t done any this year yet, so it was good to get a chance to add more colour to my sketch book, so it doesn’t look like it’s just full of writing. The main thing I am finding hard when designing the e-cards is trying to make the design contemporary. Also when I think of winter holidays (Christmas) I think of more traditional, and it’s difficult trying to see pass thinks I associate with Christmas. So I am trying to base the designs mainly on winter themes.

This week we got Chris images, his images aren’t shocking or anything that is too eye catching. The images look like photos took on a mobile phone that has been taken on the spur of the moment. I do prefer Chris image more than Bob, mainly because I think photos are more interesting. The photos show older people’s homes and environments, some quite dull looking and others with a friendlier atmosphere.
