Valentine's Heart Card Experiment







Packaging design has always fascinated me. When you pick up a CD case made out of paper, or a can of coffee shaped like an oak barrel, the experience of the product becomes far more engaging emotionally. So, after a month of thinking about picking up some packaging design template books from our library, I finally went and checked them out today. For my first experiment, I modified a template I like from one of the books. I chose this particular design to play with because I thought that the cut-out paper that reveals the inside of the card created an engaging optical effect. The content of the card comes from the fact that my birthday is on Valentine's Day. Also, I've got a thing for hearts.
