Valentine’s Day Gifts
Here’s wishing everybody a “Happy Valentine’s Day” on 14 February 2010!
While it’s a bit late to start looking into preparing more sophisticated Valentine’s Day Gifts today, it’s never too late for Valentine’s Gift Ideas that go beyond buying a red rose, a pack of funnily formed chocolates or a bottle of Schnaps!
Valentine’s Day Gifts – Elegant DVD Packaging
Why not consider some Elegant DVD Packaging for your Valentine’s Day Gifts next year? Or for any other upcoming occasion like a Birthday, Promotion, Easter…?
In my example here, I wrapped up a collection of beautiful digital pictures I took this year – my most precious moments on Noordhoek Beach South Africa 2010. I added some “unaccomplished music” that fits this spectacular high tide scenario perfectly – if you know which one I mean - and dedicated it to “My Valentine” in the Title.
Quality is obviously always the most important criterium. Firstly of the photo or background image and of course the typography. There are free fonts and those we pay heavily for – and the difference becomes especially obvious once we leave the virtual world and go into the Printing process! I was quite pleasantly surprised how well the two free fonts came out here.
In the detail above I took a screenshot of the original Valentine’s DVD Packaging Image I created and rendered at just medium quality (40) to keep the loading speed down. It’s all part of the ongoing learning process; experience – sometimes pretty painful – and attentive observation are my best teachers… and of course I have an absolute admiration for the real “Masters” !
Just click on the images and they will open in a bigger format in the overlay… takes just a few seconds.
Valentine’s Day Gift Packaging
Valentine’s Day Gift Packaging is just another product item that will grow over time and feature in my SHOP for anyone to choose from.
I so much enjoy doing any form of Graphic Design or Digital Artwork… and letting my ideas hijack my creativity and refine my skills!
Photoshop Ycademy Workshops
Here I present the original and untouched image as well as a black and white version. Depending on the atmosphere, ambience or mood we want to achieve to suit the special occasion, the color can be easily adapted and changed and even manipulated or wrapped around another shape, ebook, box or jewel case for instance.
Being well equipped with the right Graphic Design Tools and the knowledge and skills taught in Photoshop Ycademy Workshops there is no limit to our imagination in pampering those we love with something personal and special – even on Valentine’s Day!
