I have just submitted my design for Christmas card competition...in this site (http://www.foldees.com). The due date of this contest actually postponed to 25th Oct. Before this, I actually thought of not joining. However, when the due date was postponed, I thought of giving myself a try. Is because of the prizes offered actually.

Wow...would you say that after looking at all those prizes offered.
It is not just a normal Christmas card contest but the designers need to create a comic book theme Christmas card which is actually quite challenging. The toughest part of all, I need to create it in Illustrator. :(
During this contest, I have learned alot about Illustrator. Before this, I really wanted to learn the way to draw character using Illustrator...something like fashion illustration. Now, I know how to use Illustrator to draw a Santa. hehe..a good achievement I should said.
Below are some of my cards...hehe. Quite proud of it as a first time Illustrator user. :P
