Save The Date Card



Working on wedding invitations and "stuff" and just completed a "Save The Date" card. The couple loves fish (has a big fish tank in their home) and they both work at Disney, so of course I had to think "Disney/Fishie". We'll see if the Bride likes any of them!

I painted the picture of the fish using acrylics, scanned it, did a bit of touching up in Photoshop (needed to add more space at the top and bottom) and then did the layout in Illustrator. I do use Indesign, but I prefer to do stuff like this in illustrator. Once approved, I'll probably do the final piece in Indesign because I'll have to incorporate the details on the back of the postcard. I'll post the final piece when it's done.

I think The Incredible Mr. Limpit was my inspiration
