Greeting Card Design: Illustrate and Sell Your Collection

X Illustration for greeting cards

“Welcome to the "Final Project" section and thank you so much for taking this course with me. I hope that you enjoyed all our classes as much as I did! I am now going to show you how to share each step of your final project with the whole community. First of all, gather ideas, images and objects that inspire you and create a mood board for your collection.

Think about words and phrases that you would like on your cards. Sketch some ideas! The next step is choosing a specific idea and giving life to some thumbnails. Choose your favourite one and, if you work digitally, import it into your digital device. Then, refine your chosen sketch. Now, add the first layer of colour. Complete your illustration with all the remaining details and add the final touches. If you print it, share the printed card too! Otherwise, use a mock-up to show your work to the community! ... And you are done! I am so excited to see your final result! I’ll be sure to let you know my thoughts when I can, though please remember that I’m often busy with ongoing projects. Don't forget to comment on other people's work on the forum and give constructive feedback to help them improve. I hope you have enjoyed this course, and that you have learned a lot from it. Just remember! Have confidence, love what you do, and this is guaranteed to come through in your beautiful greetings cards!”
