Basically, before this i was thinking of doing a festive greeting card, which is Ei-dul Fitr, then, i decided to change my idea because festive greeting card is often made n use. So, I decided to do a Mother's Day card. The reason why i chose to do a Mother's Day card is to show how important mum is and how much she meant to us in our daily life. So, this is for appreciation to our beloved mum after all that she done to us.
Here are some of the reference that I used to make the greeting card.
Here are the steps of making the Mother's Day card.
First, set the paper size to a4. Then, rotate it to 90 CW and click view>new guide to make the page into half of the a4 size. To make it more accurate, go to view>show>grid.
Secondly, I decided to apply light green for my background as it makes the viewer's eye feel calm. I use brush>adjust blending options>adjust opacity
Third, I draw the border for the front cover using Adobe Illustrator and drag it into Photoshop. I use pen tool and apply artistic effects.
Fourth step, I import a picture a flower that I search earlier in Google image.
Fifth step, I copy the flower image and use the eraser tool to erase the unwanted flower and only take the flower that I want. I paste it according to the position that I want and adjust the opacity to make the flower a bit invisible.
After placing the flower, I insert the text "Happy Mother's Day" using Horizontal Type Tool.
After the front cover is finished, I apply a dark green color as a border using brush tool. I continue for the upper, lower, left and right border by copy and paste it at each corner.
I inserted a Mother's Day poem that I found from a website in the center of the inside cover.
I repeat step 5 and copy and paste the flower image according to the position that I want and it's finally done.
THE FINAL OUTCOME
