that I have too many unused illustrations and nowhere to put them. So I spent the day creating a range of cards by manipulatig some of my illustrations, adding copy and making a few new ones, under the logo pericheri - we`ll see how they do. The basic concept I want to develop though which I think could have a market is, everyday cards for every day people, the shoe borrowing card would be an example, cards which could be sent for no particular occasion.
for example:
"thanks for helping me with my homework"
"I'm sorry I spilt coffee down your new designer top"
"I'm sorry I stole your boyfriend"
"I'm sorry I threw up in your car.... too many martinis!"
"I lied about being busy, I was really just watching big brother"
"I may have accidently set fire to your garden... please forgive me"
you get the idea. Simple things which would make people laugh or they could relate to. what do you think?
these illustrations are realy good, i have a complete lack of drawing skills that dont go much further than stick people. but these are great and there not over coloured, just enough to create the right effect. I could see these in shops easily, esp places such as Orchard House hyde park.
ReplyDeleteThe next brief for Tigerprint's competition is to design a card, you should have a go.

thanks i'll have ago, although was dissapointed in their last winning entry it was basically the same pattern as the year before just a different colour scheme, and there were some really amazing entries.
