vis com: finished postcards

 Here are my finished postcards! I love them. i'm so proud of myself for trying illustrator and really enjoying it. I think that i did have an advantage when it comes to illustrator as i did Graphic Design at A Level, so i used the programme for 2 years. 

 I really enjoyed making my designs simple, as when you compare the drawings and the vectors they are really different. i really wanted to focus on making the designs simple. even when it came to things like adding background, i thought the outfits on there own did it enough justice and that they didn't need anything else adding into the mixture to make the designs too complicated. i had some struggles along the way, for example working out how i wanted the designs to look, whether i wanted to look into character or just focus on the dress. I also wanted to use negative space and simple colour palettes so i had to change the colours around of some of them. The only one which had two colours in it was the Vietnam one, because the headdress had to be gold as that's how the outfit is in real life. If not for this, i would've liked for the designs to be more simple. All in all, i'm really pleased with how they've come out and the work that i've done.
