- Specify your target audience. It’s easier to stay focus on a group of specific audience. Your message will be more meaningful to the targeted group instead of to the general public. Also your message will be more personalized to the specific group. Here are some sample groups:
- Babies and children
- Teens
- Boys of all ages
- Men of all ages
- Develop a strong theme. Anyone can design a card but if you want your greeting card to stand out then you need to make sure the card has a strong theme. Audience will be more attracted to pick up a card that is screaming originality to them. With a strong theme your card will stand out from the others since readers will sense that level of confidence in the designer.
- Think outside the box. Traditional greeting cards can be portrait a certain way, however you can always think outside the box. Play with the layout of the card, using the whole card to test out your design. Step out of the boundary. Move the text around the card to create different viewing angles. One important note it’s to always remember the text elements of the greeting card. The message should be clear and easy to read.
