Birthday Cards

There have been a few birthdays in the family and I thought instead of buying a card I could design one and it would be tailored specifically to that person.

This one was for my Brother-in-law. He really likes the Hudson Hornet, so I had to include it. It's such an old car and has that vintage look and feel to it and it is this that inspired me to give it the look of what an old Hudon Hornet car ad. would look like in a paper or in an old car magazine.

This next one was designed for my Father-in-law. He is a very handy man, he can fix and build just about anything. So the first thing that came to my mind was to use scaffolding somehow in the design but that just sounded boring to me and my wife. So I decided to keep it simple and go for a masculine design that is inspired by 1940s/50s mens cologne packaging. I think the final turned out nice.
