Bunny Card Done!!

I finally finished the bunny card!! All that is left is a test print and then uploading both sides to overnightprints.com! Here is the final:

Side one with party info- I removed the address and phone # for privacy reasons.

Side two- Photos are arranged with the earliest at the top and the most recent at the bottom. The big one is the newest of the pics.

Bunny Card Update

I haven't had too much time to work on the bunny card, but here is where I am now. I have them drawn up in illustrator, but I'll be adding and tweaking them still... like adding detail to the crowns, etc. Once I got the card mocked up, I tried putting random photos onto it, but the higher contrast of the photos with the flat bunnies didn't flow well, so my sister and I decided to make the bunny portion go on one side of the card with the party information and the photos go on the other side, in case anyone wanted to just frame the photos. I think that will work a lot better, but I haven't had a chance to go that far yet.

Here is a detail of the bunnies, so far. I'll be taking them and putting them on the redesigned-double sided card. They still need some more detail and I'll probably try to give them higher contrast or shading to help them pop out more.

Here is the first mock-up I was trying out. The high contrast photos just didn't work with the flat bunnies, so this version will be scrapped and on the new one this side will be all photos and the other will have the bunnies and party info. The orientation will still be horizontal. The text would have gone over the the big crown in the middle.

-Just a note: these aren't the photos that will be in the final, they were just put in to give me an idea of how it would look.

River Photomerges

My family has had a place at the Rappahannock River for over 30 years, but last year the campground we went to was closed for good. I thought I should capture our view of the river to remember it by. Both images are photomerges which make up an 180 degree view of the river. The sunset version was taken from a bluff that overlooks the water and the day version was taken from water level on the beach. Enjoy! (If you click on these, be warned they are very big, width wise.)

This was made up of about 4-5 different photos. I really like it because it shows all the boats that belong to my relatives and the boat the furthest on the left (My brother's) had to be photoshoped in later because he was taking his boat on the last ride of the summer- you can see him in there covering his boat too, my family got a kick out of that!

This one was made up of about 12 different photos. I love how it shows how long the river is and the beach of the campground is visible there, as well. I would have liked to have everyone's boat in there too, but they had all gone to spend the day at the sandbar. I was disappointed to find out after I had finished that this one is pretty impossible to print, given its size. I figured it up and to print it at a height of 3 inches it would have a width of several feet, ahhhh very disappointing :(. Oh well, it will live forever digitally!!!

-On a side note, I am able to print the sunset version :)
