This was a fun project actually, better than expected. It was really fun exploring paper as a medium beyond 2D!!! and also for getting well that is. I recently gave my spare one to my friend who was really sick and she was really happy about it so I guess that means it works right???/ Wew.
Initial Development
I wanted to go for a more handmade feel therefore I opted to use my own handwriting instead of a typeface for the words. I tried with script typefaces but it looked too impersonal for me. The first attempt was quite horrible (colours especially) because I overlayed the layers and kinda messed up the orange colour into brown instead. Oops. And when the card folded up together there wasn’t a clear figure ground relationship.
So upon editing…
I tried with a fisherman but it seemed too childish and out of place, hence I removed it upon feedback from peers.
I did try to create a pattern from the design I started with by repeating and playing with scale.
The final layout – with repeated motifs and whales. The trim marks are too obvious actually, in hindsight I would have made it in grey or something. I would have also explored more with the colours so there would be more visual interest and lead in with colours as well as patterns.
and then we have this!!!
Yep.
That’s that.
Goodbye vc1, I love all of u xoxo
