Assignment 5: Love - Inspirational card

Ooh this week's assignment is on greeting cards that are focused on love.
I love to love so this is really a fun project for me
One thing that I had in mind was not to have the typical lovey dovey hearts all over the place, and as much as possible to avoid an overdose of the colour red.
I wanted to do something simple yet significant and that people will really want to use it.
Of course it wouldn't be up to me to decide~
Plus I like soothing images that will simply evoke love, that's what inspired me to do this two prototype cards

First Card
front:


inside:


back:



Second Card
front:


inside


The back will be the same as the first card.

Well obviously I preferred the first card as I really put in a lot of effort into it though it sort of looks simple
I had to draw the tree branches out with the dreaded photoshop pen tool so it took me a while since I have yet to master it
But thanks to the branch, I can pretty much do whatever i want with the new found knowledge of the pen tool =D
Haha anyways for the second card, I was really tired after the first card so I really didn't give it much of a thought, though I think it looks pretty good though
But yeah still prefer the first card.

After some of the suggestions from my classmates, this is the final front part of the card when it's not folded into half

Final card


They suggested that my background looked too bland and flat and to try to use some gradient so i did that and tried to achieve a little of that sunset feel to it.

Oh ya one more thing is that, i drew those love birds out myself! Notice there's a heart formed from their wings and beaks??
Heee... I personally thought they looked a little weird when they were bigger in size but once I shrinked it, it's not that bad.
Okie dokies, that concludes my love card then! =)
