The following pictures show some postcard designs I thought of during a project in my first year of my degree. As part of a task I had to do for the first stage of a typography project, I had to experiment on Adobe Illustrator to produce postcard designs that express a certain emotion whilst mixing imagery with typography. Out of all of the emotions we could choose from, I thought that "Fear" was the emotion I could think of that had the most potential.
I thought about producing a series of theme with the same style, mixing a black background with cartoon-styled "scared eyes" and a "creepy" typeface I found on DaFont. This was a simple idea I had in mind with the phrase "You can see the fear in his eyes". It's a VERY simple idea, but it's quite effective.
Out of the three designs I produced, this one is my personal favourite. I stuck with the idea of the eyes as the main focal point of the design, but I quite like the unique idea of moving away from having the word "fear" on the postcard, but instead having things people are scared of, I got a random variety of suggestions but I think all of them go well on the design.
This one was an extra one I came up with as an experimentation, keeping the eyes but having them in the corner instead, and incorporating other things people are scared of, such as blood and a spider (which I really enjoyed designing! It was really simple, but I really like how it turned out.) This one isn't my personal favourite, but I'm quite proud of the really simple spider.
