GREETING CARDS LAYOUT

This is the final layout design that I will be using for my greetings cards. Alike the Postcard layout it is going to be simple with only the necessary information included.
  • Logo
  • Website
  • Collection name 
  • Copyright
  • Barcode 
As all these pieces are part of a set/collection they all need to be alike, following the same identity.

ORDER

This is the order in which my illustrations will be portraying in my Zine, from left to right, with left being the oldest memories to the last on the right being the newest. I want them to show a story with the oldest memories being slightly hazy and fragment, through to the newest memories being sharp and clear. By laying them out like this I can see the order in which they will need to be portrayed.


COLOUR

I have been experimenting with editing the colour of my illustrations to further set the mood/theme for each illustration. As each illustration is representing a childhood memory some of which are old and slightly hazy, as well as playing with the hue and saturation to show this, I have experimented with the transparency setting to portray, distant and unclear memory.



By making the colours more hazy and inky I feel that they reflect the image of memory more clearly, by showing that floaty, imaginative, feel that memories have.
