Christmas Card competition

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.

The top ten rated cards will be able to choose extra prizes from the list below..This means everyone ends up with something they want, rather than just something bigger or better!

Belkin Messenger Bag (15.4") iPod Classic 80 GB iPod Touch 8 GB iPod Nano 8 GB LG 22" WideScreen LCD Monitor WACOM Bamboo Fun Tablet (6x9) Canon MPC145 All-in-One Printer Apple Wired Keyboard & Mighty Mouse Western Digital 320 GB MyBook Flash Drive 8 GB 1st prize - US$600 + 1st dibs into Santa’s Bag’o’Gadgets 2nd prize - US$300 + 2nd dibs into Santa’s Bag’o’Gadgets 3rd prize - US$150 + 3rd dibs into Santa’s Bag’o’Gadgets

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

my design...

I love to browse through interesting sites that shows different kind of ideas & style in designs..I really wish that someday my designs will improve & have a style that I can call my own, something different from others. Among the designs that I love the most is vector illustrations...abstract or fashion illustration. I love the way a character is drawn & colour with shading & color tone. Vector designs are normally created using Adobe Illustrator. Hmmm....I don't actually know how to use this tool.

Here are some of the designs that I have done previously...using Adobe Photoshop CS3.
