Assignment 5: LOVE

It's done! I realised my sketch and the final are two worlds apart.



Explaination: A grey background with silhouettes to show the masses and monotonicity of the world, and a pink lady tied to a blue dude by a thread turns. There's a cultural reference here for the red string, as it's referring to Yue Lao, the matchmaker in Chinese folklore. So the jerk from the string halts the couple and their things fall off from their hands to show the shock and impact of the moment.

And as for the logo, well, no love is complete without some humour, no? Comments please!

Some I got was:
- The. Words. Are. Bad. i.e. the font needs to be a little more classy, and the colour is not complementary with the existing powder pair (pink and blue). The positioning of the words are not appropriate as well, but there's barely space for the words too, so I have no choice but to place the words where they are.
- The background is too dark, but its a necessity. The foreground elements are of a powder pink and powder blue. These colours are light and pale in nature. Should the background be any lighter, they will blend into the background, and the meaning in the card will be lost.
- The matchmaker's string needs to be more prominent. Possibly a brighter red or a little glow on it.

Actually I quite like your card. Colour combi is pretty nice. But it looks rather business-ey, so... YAH. *scratches head*
