The Ideas

.
Lets ignore about the greetings first. I will focus more on the image (the front page of the greeting card) in this post.

Since Xmas is coming soon, so I decided to do a Christmas card as my second assignment. Initially I would like to do something that is simple and direct to the points. It should be something like this:

These are the invitation cards for my coming music performance and Xmas celebration in Pulau Penang. =D

But, I can almost guarantee that I wont be able to get a high mark if I follow this kind of design. So, I start to seek for a new one.

And ha~ I get my new ideas thanks to the cold weather in Cyberjaya during these few days.

Winter is cold. People will be freeze if they wear nothing ( which what my white avatar did). So I start to work on this idea and create the images using Adobe Illustrator. In my opinion, I believe that by creating something humor can attract one’s attraction. These should explain why my avatar and the Santa look so.

I gained this idea because of the word: Penang. In mandarin, Penang sound like Ice City.

For the Xmas tree, some of them is create using Illustrator and some of it are from Google.

Just play with the shape tools, pencil tools and pen tools, you can create the Xmas tree.

For the aurora, it is actually my window background theme. I modify it to be my winter background. And by combining all these pictures and some Photoshop skills, it can already create a nice greeting cards.
