- “ Dare to love yourself as if you were a rainbow with gold at each end.” – Poet Aberjhani
For this postcard I wanted to show a visual of a woman in the center of the postcard. The woman will have a cropped visual showing only from her shoulders up in order to have white space around her. The message I wanted to send is that people should be comfortable in their own skin. As a result, I chose to use neutral and earth tone colors. I wanted to use a quirky sans-serif type font with rounded edges to avoid a serious feel.
- “Everything you can imagine is real.” – Pablo Picasso
For this postcard I wanted it to be playful. I wanted it to almost resemble a crossword puzzle where they have to piece together the quote. I also want to use a vibrant color palette so the quote sticks out and is easier to read.
