Cards & invites

Designing greeting cards, envelopes and invites using Photoshop & Illustrator. Digital & traditional art assets.

Personalised Birthday Card Commission - I was commissioned to make a 90th Birthday Card. This commission had lots of personal touches to it that are special to the person being gifted the card. Every art asset relates in someway to this persons interests, or places that are important to them. They spent a lot of time at a winery so a border was made of grape vines and a section of a vineyard is a prominent part of the design. They are fond of ulysses butterflies, so they are featured on the front and back. Part of the likeness of a ulysses butterfly is their blue colour so I hand painted the card with blue watercolour. The client requested a curlicue on the cover under the text, this helps give it an old fashioned and elegant feel. On the inside, details of a specific mountain has been drawn that relates to an area they spent lots of time at. The vine border has been repeated on the inside pages with their name lettering being hand-drawn.
