The link for my Thortful cards is https://www.thortful.com/creator/JoBrown
You will see all my current cards.
I can try out card designs here without incurring my own printing costs, so it is an opportunity to find designs you might not find elsewhere. I am experimenting with some hand painted type designs at the moment. Even if you aren't purchasing, I would appreciate it if you could 'like' or 'save' my designs, it would help raise my profile.Thanks!
​
p.s. You can also buy a different selection directly from me in my shop

So I deleted my Facebook page a while back, in a strop (yes I'm like that) but now I need it, and I started a new one, but I have hardly any followers doh! so if you could show it some love, I'd be very grateful!

Gift Voucher Design for Bags of Books, Lewes.

8/1/2021

0 Comments

 
Some images of the gift vouchers I designed for Bags of Books, an independent children's bookshop in Lewes, East Sussex. They feature Alan, the shop cat.
The vouchers were designed to be easily printed to order on the shop's A4 printer, on different colours of card.The sketchbook shows initial sketches, trying different angles, then printing out different versions while I played with the type and the hand drawn elements. As the vouchers have dates and numbers written by hand, (there are spaces on the books for this) I wanted to make the amounts hand drawn too, so I had to do one for each amount available.
