For my 3rd assignment for this week, I decided to do the best to spread cheer is making cards for all to see. In this assignment, I had to make a card for someone in my life. I love sending my friends little notes to brighten their days so I was super excited to do this assignment.

I first started off by looking for a good templet to use for my card. I wanted something that was calming and cute so that they would feel calm when reading it. I messed around with a couple of different templets until I found the one that I wanted.

Once I settled on a templet, the next thing I did was pick a saying that I would want on the card. I thought about this for a couple of moments until I decided to use this as my quote, “Don’t get stressed over the small things”. Most of my friends are college students, and with midterm season with us right now I felt like this was a good message to send.

I got typing and played around with the font a little bit until I got my final product. I am really happy with this final product and can not wait to send it around to my friends!

This assignment required me to make a card using an online design program.  I used spark.adobe.com to create this card and used my character, Gallapher.  The main purpose of Gallapher is to come through the night to restore self-esteem and self-worth to children and then gallop off into the night afterwards so that was the inspiration behind the quote on the card “Confidence is you”.

I decided to make an I’m Sorry card from Layla to Damon because I was like “Why not?” This all happens some time after this but I don’t exactly know how or why. So there’s that. I wanted to make the card as childish as I could to show that Layla was at least trying when she gave him the card. She has the capacity for emotions too.

I struggled finding a third assignment to contribute to my six stars of character design assignments this week. However, after much searching, I decided on “The Best Way To Spread Cheer Is Making Cards For All To See”. With Valentine’s Day approaching, I thought that the sexy and sultry “Jewel” would definitely have someone to send a … Continue reading My Dearest Valentine…

For my second make-your-own assignment I chose to do a holiday card. I felt like this was appropriate since we are so close to the holidays. However, you can make this card for almost any celebration.

I chose my favorite design and remixed the colors to create a colorful, holiday design.

There are many media platforms that allow you to create your own card. For my card I used the online program Canva. However, PaperlessPost is a great place to make cards. You can print them or send your invitations out by evites. Either way it is a quick way you can make a personal card for someone.

So for this assignment, chose a program to make a card, make and design the card so that it is personal and send it out! You will be sure to impress your friends and make their day.

In your post for the class make sure to tell us why you chose the design and the background story to the card. Tell us what program you chose to make it with and why.

This assignment is worth 2 stars.
