Forecepts’ 2009 Christmas eCard

Posted by jessette on March 19, 2010

Last year, our design team have been blessed with an abundance of Christmas and Season’s Greeting e-cards. We can say that 2009 has been a real blast and inspite of the recession, we were able to work on really interesting projects.

Here’s some insights on our own corporate Christmas e-card from last year:

Every Christmas tree has its own unique charm that reflects the characteristic of the people who took the time to lovingly and joyfully decorate these trees. I grew up in the Philippines where Christmas is a big thing and my childhood memories is happily peppered with colourful balls, stockings, Santa Claus, gifts, and of course, Christmas trees.

It’s the sheer enjoyment of decorating this symbolic tree that has inspired me to create this concept for Forecepts’ 2009 Christmas eCard. I have worked on the illustrations for all the elements; the trees, baubles, socks, candy cane and the gifts at the bottom of the box.

We originally planned on a “create your own Christmas Tree” concept, wherein users can customize the background, the tree and the elements that each would want to place on their eCards. A personalized greeting would also be possible and in the end, the user can send the card to their friends as jpeg files. They can also invite their friends to do the same. Unfortunately though,time constraints have not allowed us to push through with this idea.

Below are some screen shots of the design. In the end, we just opted to send out a simple flash eCard. Hopefully this year, we’ll be able to push through with the original concept and share the joy of decorating your own Christmas Tree.
