 GREETING CARD SET (Christmas Cards?)

Create a set of Greeting Cards around a common theme. Each Card should use a photo or design you created. Each card will also need a message or sentiment. They should all have something in common. You can be sappy, funny, risqué or abstract, but the ‘grandmother rule’ applies

  1. Decide on a Theme, and work out the text or messages.
  2. Make a list of photo ideas that would fit your theme / mood
    • Come up with ideas for at least 5 cards, each card should have at least:
      • One image & message on the front
      • A partial message and a greeting on the inside
      • A © with your name on the back (you can add your ‘brand’ as well)
  3. Create your Cards in InDesign
    • Start a new 4 page document for each card, choose a size / format you like
    • Add your images and text to each card
    • Export each card as a PDF – make sure it shows correctly
  4. Submit 5 PDF files in ONE folder that has your name in the folder name
