Christmas card! - final

sigh, usual note - the colour scheme is off -thanks to blogger.

I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE USED WORDPRESS.

lol anyway, enough of angsty-ing, basically i re-vamped my card.

and again, my tutorial mates' work are so much simple and pretty.

i know the emphasis on this assignment is the colour scheme,

and about that point, the un-vamped assignment,

the one i presented in tutorial is probably better. sigh..

but honestly,

i rather do a memorable pretty card which will make people happy.

my guy friend told me that if he received such a card from a friend,

he will really smile. =)

i baked real gingerbread man, child, christmas, dogs, stars,

and took different kinds of shots and to see which was best!

this was the nicest! sometimes simplicity is best lol. not too much stuff crammed into one card.

it's a shame i was rushing for the electronic deadline,

if not i would have probably added a small picture,

of a gingerbread dog at the back of the card.

oh well, maybe it's for the best. no clutter.

=) but actually i thought my unvamped card was pretty as well.

we can't have the best of both worlds, can we?

there's a sense of regret, actually.

my portfolio was hastily done.

there was so much more to my works i could have brought out.

actually, during the holidays, i think i might go and re-do my portfolio,

with better drawn sketches, with more reflections, elaborations and detail.

the portfolio doesn't do justice to my works, really.

to the effort i put in, the aesthetics, everything.

and random, i really do like shariff's card! it's imaginative, simple and everything.

i would so buy it. =)

Christmas card - draft

The front of the card!
the colour scheme

again - usual note - colours are screwed up sigh.

honestly, the soft pretty colour effects i spend ages doing is all lost when i put these up on my blog.

how unsatisfying, seriously.

oh well, anyway ,my card!

as usual, the theme in the class is beautiful simplicity,

and i have to go the more complicated route blah.

went to research on gingerbread,

and how to draw them, drew them, scanned and put together a card.

time really flies when you use photoshop.

sigh i have a penchant for doing last minute work,

and yet i insist on doing it with such detail. WHYYYY.

anyway, feedback from the class went that it was nice and rather convenient,

that the middle of the card had writings and greetings -

saves the trouble of writing a actual christmas greeting LOL.

and from siti, i should put in more effort in the colour scheme zzz.

sometimes, i don't understand the requirements.

so yeah, hierarchy and grades. i may be re-doing the card,

so i'll try to improve, perhaps. 

decisions, decisions.

should i re-do?
