Bath postcard review

What works well is that it's symmetrical. I used two images, the top one was flipped horizontally and then the bottom one was flipped vertically and horizontally. I cut out a part of the image to make it line up using quick selection to cut part of the image out and paste it on the other side to make it line up. I used Dafont.com to get the font for Bath. My target audience is older aged tourists

It is slightly blurry around the text because I took a screenshot from Dafont rather than downloading it. The images don't properly line up under close inspection because the images are from slightly different angles and flipped so they aren't perfect


I moved the rulers into place to ensure that each picture was equally spaced

I placed two images in to experiment with the spacing of the images

I realised that the picture on the right needed to be the same as the other one on the left to create a more effective design 

I thought it started to look like a heart. I like that because it represents "Love Bath"

I duplicated the bottom image to perfectly form the heart shape

I placed a Bath typeface on the image

I placed the same typeface but in white on top to give a 3D effect


I like that it represents "Love Bath". I also like that it's symmetrical. 


This one doesn't go together that well because the images don't link in together.  It's a bit jumbled with colours and I didn't put much thought into how to place the images. If I was going to improve this one I would link it in and think about how the colour contrasts work. I would choose better images that link in more with the subject

  1. Assessment- Fully detailed explanation and show of steps on how the post card the was made. I like how you came up with a title for the actual postcard which is 'Love Bath' the description of how you came to design the postcard as a heart is well thought out and the final design is great. Further more it's good how you gave yourself some point errors too.

    Improvements: There's not much i would improve if i'm honest. The blog is well described and the only thing i would say is how you could've improved the lighting of the top pictures in the postcard?
