Today we’re going ot talk about what goes inside the card - the MESSAGE. We will decide on what types of cards we will be creating, what messages will go inside, and talk about how certain words can be emphasized, and the text can be laid out!
Today we’ll finish up the Movie Poster designs, and we’ll do some work at the tables on designing the greeting cards. This will involve a lot of brainstorming, sketching, and writing out ideas for the greeting inside the card.
Thought to ponder for the front of the card:
should text go over the art, like “happy birthday”?
which art works best for text to go over it?
should we have thick black or white borders around the art so it looks like it is framed?
could text be written on this frame
Practice laying out text on greeting cards!
