Assignment 5 - Christmas Card (FINAL)

The latest update i received about my card involved some minor changes. Took me a whole night to do the editing actually, the woes of using Illustrator and Photoshop.

Can you spot the changes from the previous drafts and the newest one?

Changes made:

1. Expanded the card to look more rectangular - providing more breathing space around the main picture and text and drawing focus to them (AHA, applying what i've learnt).
2. Took away the background around the logo so that it looks part of the card. I had to make minor edits to the logo because CFA didn't provide one with white text and a transparent background. It was requested that i made the logo more prominent in size as well.
3. Gave myself a little bit of credit with my name on the left-hand side.
4. Initially, i had a red/white colour scheme but i was told that the red/white colour scheme was unfitting of the Christmas theme (which i found quite strange because...red and white screams Christmas in my opinion). But nonetheless, the client's views are more important and i changed it to white and gold...which turned out to be one of my favourites.

It's really interesting to see how my designs evolve into something better after getting multiple critiques on every possible detail.

I have already sent these in to the people of CFA and they like it! Thank goodness!
