Post Card Project

 When thinking about what I could choose for my set of six cards, I cycled through a few ideas, originally I wanted to play off the classical maximalist design tourism postcards have, where the colors are very saturated the background is lively, and each of the letters contain a different image.


This is exactly what came to mind, I was going to change the words to Pasco and have each letter represent some of the natural wildlife in my community. However I veered away from this idea when met with time and weather challenges, but at some point I'd like to revisit it.

My second idea was to capture some photos at my local hockey rink and to have each of the postcards have a fun little quirp for each of the images- I ended up just making a uniform set of layers to apply to the images after they were edited in Lightroom. 

Halfway through making said layers my version of photoshop was having difficulty and would not function properly, and I ended up having to scrap the first set of designs- but remade them a second time after restarting my computer and the app.







These post cards came  out okay, but there is definitively a few things that I could have spent more time on, primairly editing the photos and fixing up the font choice.

The demographic for my postcards was for people who attend the rink to send them to other rinks or people they know that skate, "From our rink to yours".

Lastly here is the back of the card.
