Hey there! So you clicked on the link for this class because you have always been interested in designing cards, right? Any artist out there would be crazy to not be trying to sell greeting cards with their art on it. Why? Because it is so easy! You can create an income stream right away! This is my second class in this subject area! My first class, The Secrets of Self-Publishing Greeting cards, focused on the self-publishing aspect. This class will focus on the production of designs for the biggest market in greeting cards: everyday cards. Over 50% of the everyday cards sold are birthday cards, so that will be our focus, and specifically, children’s greeting cards.
In this class I will share my step-by-step process for how to concept and produce a saleable greeting card design for a child’s birthday with a cute and simple animal motif. You will build skills in several areas including simple Illustrator art brush techniques and Photoshop compositing and finishing. The final step will be to create a smart object mock-up in Photoshop that you can use for presentation of your card for sale on online marketplaces or your web site, or to present to greeting card companies! I even have some cheats to get this done even faster! The project files will include a mock-up I produced and that you are welcome to use for free. In my course, you’ll gain know-how in four main concept areas: Simple Illustrator brush creation, Photoshop layers and layer effects, Photoshop brush use to create simple backgrounds and compositing, and finally, Photoshop mock-up creation with smart objects!
