Nothing says "Happy Holidays" like a grove of stumps and some giant, eyeless birds.
They passed out this card at work today. It’s meant to be sent to people that work with our company.
All I have to say is…what the fuck, honestly. It’s stuff like this that gives me hope…hope that, even if I become the worst graphic designer in the world, I’ll still be employable as one. It looks like a half-finished project that needs a lot more work to be successful. If I turned this in as a finished project in class, I guarantee that even the nicest teacher wouldn’t pass me.
What’s with the grove of tree stumps? What’s with the giant bird, and the smaller birds? What relationship do the birds have to the stumps? Why are there green sparkles in the sky? Why did the artist make the thing so pale?
Give me 1 hour and Illustrator and I’m 100% certain I could come up with something much more attractive and cohesive.
Sometimes I really wonder at the things my company is willing to spend money on. I believe this is actually worse than the Magic 8 balls they handed out that had inspirational crap on the little triangle thing inside rather than the normal answers.
