Cardthartic Greeting Cards
The challenge as an artist:
Creating a feeling or atmosphere that represents the sentiments of each card.
The challenge as a designer:
Making the cards legible in the digital space.
The solution:
Two styles were created to showcase the cards: 1) flat layouts with familiar objects that remind us of reasons to give and celebrate every day and 2) images of card recipients enjoying the warmth or humor that the card evokes. For both digital and print graphics, card text was enlarged for each image created. Graphics were created for the website, social media, catalog, sales collateral and trade show signage layout.
