* Feedback from tutorial:Classmates in tutorial mentioned that the first draft is too wordy for a card to be attractive. Furthermore, the previous effort portrays a rathre bleak and morbid picture of love, due to its dark tones and rough texture.
Therefore, in a second attempt, I divided the poem on the cover into two, and I placed the second half of it on the inside of the card.
Morover, I removed one of the love quotes from the back of the card so as to show more breathing space. A less cluttered card is more appealing than one packed with information and details. Besides, I reduced the size of the logo (Cupid Pte. Ltd.) for the old one is deemed to be too big and occupied too much of space.
The words in the poem are in red, as a form of contrast to the soft pink tone of the background and also the red symbolises the heat and passionate nature of love itself.
In a bid to show the tenderness of love, I used the cloud effect in photoshop as the background. This time, the card is in shades of soft pink with a complementing peach coloured heart. In addtion to adding soft and comforting colours, I also reduced the card to A5 size. The card will therefore be folded into half. This small makeup of a care can be seen as a cute feature, for small cards are often better received and better liked than a big one.I also made changes to the fonts on the second attempt. In this case, I used a curvy font type to show the intricacies of love. The cursive nature of the font is also widely used in most love cards.
Lastly, the inside of the card is kept simple and largely plain so as to allow people to write their messages.
