It’s also good because it represents some pretty cool things like completion and competency. You pull this card when the struggles are over and the complements begin pouring in, it’s kind of the opposite of ‘the fool’ card. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/42897/521487/1Design.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="800" width_o="640" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/42897/521487/1Design_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/42897/521487/2Placement.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="800" width_o="640" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/42897/521487/2Placement_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/42897/521487/3Details.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="800" width_o="640" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/42897/521487/3Details_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/42897/521487/lemonde3.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="251" width_o="640" height_o="251" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/42897/521487/lemonde3_o.jpg" align="left" /> This design was created for the Threadless design competition.

I chose this particular page as I thought it would be interesting to explore an area of the book less known and that doesn’t come with as many pre-concieved ideas due to Disneys well known version of the story. I focused more on pallette than I had in previous projects.

Creating a well branded website that is easy to navigate, easy to read and visually desirable was an intricate job. All elements of the site from splash page to checkout integrate seamlessy with one another and with the bigcartel system it runs off of.

The colours and recuring themes work well in all the applicable areas including mailers, hang-tags, brochures, flyers and web branding.
