The first design is a Save-the-Date card. The picture I used is a few years old and a long time ago I put it on my iphone and changed it a little with an app I had. I used this image for the Save-the Date but first I cleaned it up a little in photoshop. The app on my phone made a lot of dark spots in the image, like under my eyes. I lightened these areas, removed the necklace I was wearing and added a border. I brought this image into illustrator and began to add the text. I created a new graphic style by adding fill colors with different effects and textures. I also created a textured background.
The second design is a wedding invitation. I am not completely happy with this one yet. I want to add more branches to make it longer and curve around the corners and maybe rearrange some things. To create the branches I used the pen tool. I created my own brush to make the branches thin out at the ends. I used the pen tool to create a leaf and saved it as a symbol so I could easily add more leaves. I also used the spiral tool and the twirl tool. I used the same textured background as the Save-the-Date, but I changed the color.
I plan on creating a Response card and a Thank You card that match the invitation.
