split complimentary Christmas colors

12.12.2012


This year's Christmas card! I drew each of these little icons by hand and scanned them into Photoshop to handle the rest. Originally, I made the entire card dark green, but I just finished a class in color theory- I had to apply some of my new knowledge, hence the split complimentary colors. I love graphic design. Merry Christmas!

  2. I love it! It was very exciting for me to see the original hand-drawn graphics first, then come visit your blog and see how it all turned out! I really enjoy seeing the process behind things so I'm super appreciative of you sharing it!

    It makes everything very approachable and more human. Thanks!

  7. Thanks for showing us a "behind the scenes" photo. It never occurred to me to draw something in solid black before throwing it in photoshop. But it makes sense. I'll have to give it a try!

  8. Ah, absolutely lovely! :) I never thought of this as well - I usually just hand draw the whole card, haha!

    And Merry Christmas, Sarah! Hope you had a wonderful one filled with much love and warmth! xx
