So, I have finally finished the invitations for my final project! Unfortunately, I don’t have photos of the creation process, because I got really wrapped up in creating it that I kind of forgot to think about blogging about it. But I mean, I pretty much just did what I’ve been doing all along, which was used the trace effect to make up my imagery.
This Is what it ended up looking like. It started out looking pretty good and I was happy with it, but near the end there I struggled with the larger flower group. It kind of interfered with my center alignment for the typography section of my project, but I kind of played with it for a minute until it looked decent.
This is how it turned out. I think it looks a lot better, and doesn’t crowd the flowers or any of the other typography. However, as i’m sitting here writing this, and looking at the final product, I feel like I could move the entire typography section down a notch.
Above is a template that I got online, and its where I got my wording, because I wasn’t sure what to even include on the invitation.
Finishing this project took a lot longer than I wanted it to. Class time got taken up by presentations and other assignments to wrap up the semester, and so I didn’t get much personal work in. But I am relieved that it’s finally done and I can start focusing on putting everything together.
