Christmas Cards

This is a brief that I strongly wanted to do and therefore had to happen before Christmas due to the concept of the cards.

I wanted the cards to be interactive in someway not just cards designed without a thought about how the view will play or interact with the card.

I started researching...

These all have influence my decisions of my cards. I decided from the beginning that i was going to do 3 designs due to my time frame. I wanted the cards to be of better quality rather than quantity.

The ideas of interaction at the moment are:

Spinner
Shaker
Decouration
Tag
Pocket
3D

I think the three I am going to go with is:

Tree decouration
Spinner
Shaker

I started with my titles, as I wanted them to be all related so they would work together in a set. 

I didn't want the titles to be the typical slogan you find on a christmas card so here are my thoughts on this:

Shine & Sparkle
Merry & Bright
Now it's christmas time
Happy Holidays
Let it snow.

I have decided on:

These are all short & sweet.

I have decided that I want my cards all to be the same size at 9cm x 15cm.

So the main part of the design of these cards is the development with handling...

I emptied my mind onto a map.
Even if it don't make sense at the time. They will link in someway...
