Design a greeting card related to the theme LOVE
The Card should convey the theme primarily through colours with minimal use of photographs and other visual elements
My prototype design …
Since there are so many western v card online, I want to try something more oriental, something suiltable for the chinese valentine day.. It was hard at first to source for sample online so I turn to chinese wedding cards for ideas. My concept was to show the simple love between the a guy and a gal. Then the ying-yang symbol came to my mind. Having a heart that enclose the ying-yang simply symbolize that… However, that was not enough i needed more.. butterfly was something that represents first love. In chinese belief when one is attracted to it’s first love, it’s like an attraction that draw a butterfly to a flower pones.. Lastly, what other better way to express LOVE is to pen the word down … I have chosen the traditional chinese font for it’s meaningful representation. (See prototype design) The chinese character LOVE (“Ai” in chinese) is actually formed by another character HEART(“Xi” bold in red). This can also symbolize LOVE from the heart.
