Making a postcard design to be a creative business hand out for potential clients.

When I came up with this idea I was trying to think of something that would be interesting, and simplistic to give to people. I wanted it to still feel like me though. Something I have been doing is when I travel, I buy postcards from each new place I go to rather than spending a ton of money on souvenirs. I decided why not make a postcard design to hand out to people. Postcards to me are reminders of something amazing or memorable, that people want to share with others.

Step 1:
As usual, I sketched out my ideas on paper first. After I made a rough sketch, I brought my designs into Adobe Illustrator and made three similar but distinct wire frames.

Step 2:
After creating the wire frames, I realized I wanted to focus more on the different types of photography I do and let the design part be based on the layout and overall appeal.

Step 3:
Bringing the images in, making prints, and photographing the final presentation of the post cards.
