Nautical Family Christmas Photo Card Design Ideas and tips
I like this card because it has a nice clean design, looks very professional on the outside and then flips open to some fun.
The client wanted the familly portrait on the boat at mid-afternoon. Not a great time, but we worked with it. I got one really good shot of everyone smiling at the camera and that was the 'centerpiece' shot. The one for the front. We also decided we wanted to show off the whole boat on the back. Though I did not have my wide angle lens with me, I was able to get enough of the boat in the shot.
To integrate the front and the back, I chose to use a nice thick red stripe that bordered the images on the top and bottom and carried from the front to the back. I think that's what really makes this card work.
For the inside, we knew we had some fun shots from a different vantage point on the boat, so we used one of those and faded the edges to crop out everything but the head. And of course, the little message to the right really tied everything together.
I liked the design of this card so much I did something very similar for a card from a recent beach session. So next post, I'll show that one off.
