My Thank You Card Design

Last week in my Interactive Media class, we were given the project of designing a thank you card. At first, I thought this project was pretty hard, thank you cards have to be simple yet convey some type of message. 


My first thought was to do some type of black and white photography as my main background  (I love full designs). First I tried to look for some type of city for the background, but my search ended in a fail. But I kept searching for black and white photos. So my next move was to head to Stumble Upon and search photography. I found interesting photos, one of a cup and another of a bmxer.

At first my thought was to use the bmx photo I found because I bmx in my free time. :) But then, I thought...."what does this really have to do with saying thank you?" So again, my idea changed. I kept Stumbling and then I stumbled on a photo of a dandelion. Then all the ideas hit me. 

The idea that hit me was a popular tattoo design but I wanted to make it a bit different. I happened to design exactly what I thought of. It's simple but also exotic. The picture I used was a hand holding a dandelion, but instead of the normal dandelion seeds coming from it, I used birds. 

I'm very happy with my thank you card, but I'm also thankful that I sit next to someone who can help me with this program!
