Here's a special behind-the-scenes peek of the process of making my Leaning Tower of Pisa card.
It took about a day to illustrate the tower. I lean* towards using Adobe Illustrator for most of my work because vector graphics are scalable to any size.
*see what I did there?
 |
| Adobe Illustrator is my go to program for creating all Flopsock Designs. |
Some color and a crooked frame with "I got you" makes it a message of support.
 |
| The art gets scaled to fit into a 4.25" x 5.5"A2 greeting card template. |
Then the image is dropped into an open flat layout created in Adobe InDesign.
 |
For a vertical card layout, the front is the right side and the back is the left side.
|
The layout file is saved as a high resolution PDF and sent to the printer. A few days later, the printed cards are ready to be trimmed and scored to fold.
 |
A little trim around the edges and these babies will be ready to go.
|
 |
| All Flopsock Design greeting cards including this one come with a matching kraft paper envelope. |
