Postcard





This is a New York City postcard I created in Adobe InDesign. The inspiration around this creation was light pastel colors, giving it a cartoonish, urban theme. I found that the font of the header matched the soft lines and curves of the background image, and wasn't too harsh and jumped off the page. All the colors on the front and the back stayed within the same color family. 

I drew my inspiration from New York Cities skyline, yet instead of it being black and grey, I wanted to spice is up and make it look warm and inviting. I used templates I found online for the card creation, and added my personal logo to each side.
