A friend asked me to design a quick and simple moving announcement for her. I decided to use a photo that I saw recently for my inspiration.

For this recipe you'll need:
- A color palette inspired by the photo.
- A sans serif font. I used Aller from Font Squirrel.
- A simple pattern to add some texture (inspired by the start of school).
The card size is 4.5" x 5.5" which fits a standard A2 envelope. This size is also convenient because it fits four per letter-sized page.
The photograph was the inspiration for the colors and the silhouette of the house.
This is how the final announcement turned out (aside from the fake info!). I set up four per page and sent my friend a PDF for easy printing. All she'll need to do is use card stock and cut each page into four announcements.
Love it Patricia! Cool post!
ReplyDeleteHow much of a border did you leave around the design?
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather!
ReplyDeleteStacey - I left a little over 1/4" as a border—more like 5/16".
So simple. I love it! :-)
