Okay, so today I decided to mess around with making some zodiac cards. It seemed like a fun little project, and honestly, I was kinda curious how they’d turn out.
Getting Started
First, I needed to figure out what I wanted these cards to look like. Did I want photos? Drawings? Just text? I went back and forth for a bit, but finally, I decided to go with simple illustrations. I figured that would be the easiest, and plus, I could add my own little creative spin to them.
The Design Process
I started by sketching out some rough ideas on paper. Just little doodles, really. Then, I picked my favorite 12 animal ideas.
- Rat is cool.
- Ox is my zodiac.
- Tiger looks good.
- Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
So with my concepts nailed down, I started created the cards!
Putting It All Together
This part took the longest, of course. I played around with colors, fonts. After a few hours, I was finally happy with what I had. These cards represent the 12 zodiac signs.
The Final Result
In the end, I was pretty stoked with how my zodiac cards turned out! They were simple but I think get my design across. It was a good way to spend an afternoon, flexing those creative muscles. Maybe I’ll try a different set of cards next time!
