Mockup of illustrated card set

PRINT CARD SET

ILLUSTRATION / PRINT

This project features a set of three 5x7 illustrated print cards that explore abstract visual language through simplified forms and bold colour. The concept focuses on breaking elements down to their most essential shapes, creating minimal yet expressive compositions.

The design process started with thumbnails, where I experimented with different compositions. These early sketches helped refine the abstract forms and determine how each piece would flow and interact within the space.

Bright gradient colour palettes enhance the feeling of motion, adding vibrancy and an animated quality to the illustrations. The effect evokes the flowing, captivating visuals of a lava lamp, with soft transitions and unexpected blends.

The finished artwork blends fluid shapes and vibrant gradients to create a sense of motion. The bold colours and simplified forms offer a modern, playful aesthetic.

The cards are bound together with an eyelet, allowing them to fan out like a paint swatch set. This interactive format encourages exploration of each design, offering a dynamic presentation.

The set is housed in a hand-sewn translucent envelope, adding a tactile, personal touch that complements the artwork.
