Week 13- Revisions For Cards

After working on all 36 cards, I had to go through all of them and double check to see if they looked the way I wanted. After going through all of my cards that were created on Adobe Illustrator, I then realized that  I have 18 cards for kids and 18 cards for adults so I need to create a background for the 18 kids cards. I thought that incorporating the leprechaun in some way would be a good background for the kids cards because usually young kids are the ones who believe in leprechauns. I also thought that the black form the pot of gold would create huge contrast making the title really pop out. But before placing the pot of gold and leprechaun into place, I had to decide on a background color. The kids cards really had to differ from the adult cards so I was looking for a single colored background but making it unique.  I decided on making the background for the leprechaun a green gradient design fading into the center. I felt that this really made the leprechaun and pot of gold pop. The leprechaun's green hat is not blending together with the green background due to the gradient and since the middle fades to white, the black stands out even more. I went onto Adobe Illustrator and locked all of the colors/lines that were blocking off he leprechaun and the pot of gold. I then copied the image and exported it as a JPEG into In Design. After placing it into In Design, I then resized the image so that it would fit nicely in the middle of the page. Next I copied the text from the back of the adult cards and pasted it onto the pot o gold. I wanted to be sure the fonts were the same because it would make the game look more professionally put together.  I then went through all of my cards for the final time to make sure that they had no spelling errors and were ready to send out to get printed. Above are examples of all 4 of my card types and the the two backs of each card.
