Assignment 5

Front and back covers

Inside of the card


I got the idea after buying a drink from a vending machine in school and got really hooked onto it. A vending machine selling artificial love with the words "Love cannot be bought from vending machines" looming ominously on the top and bottom borders on the cover, a clinical look in stark contrast to the inside of the card. The inside is meant to be warm in contrast to the cold on the cover page, but does not portray the intense fiery flames of passionate love that threaten to burn itself out, nor the woes of a simmering, inadequate love, but a sweet and content love balanced just so. The colours on the inside of the card don't really stand out, but I'm working on it. Comments or suggestions are welcome!

It's a very nice idea.

Would "Love cannot be bought from a vending machine" be better than "Love cannot be bought from vending machines"?

Inside, i think another colour besides orange would be good!

Good work though! very Nice i thought!

Semantically, I think the difference between both statements is negligible as both convey my idea equally well.

As for colour, I'm trying out blue, which seems to stand out well. Now I just need to work on the harmony of the colours.. Thanks for the compliments and comments!

just a reiteration of my comments during tutorial - the bottom line of text has a white colour at the top, near where the clouds are. i feel that there'll be a merger. maybe if put blue at the top and white at bottom, maybe will make your text command more attention since it contains rather important information.

and i think the orange is warm, gives me a positive feeling. how about using a gradient for the heart inside to make it less flat? just some suggestions! =)
