    Create cards using elements that speak about pride, justice, and righteousness. You can use themes such as ‘Honoring the Great Hero’, ‘Born to make a difference’, ‘a note of thank you’ and the likes. Use colors of the flag, symbols of freedom and text that bring out the respect and appreciation we feel for this great man. Use animation and music to accentuate the emotions of pride and respect for him. Inspirational and admiration messages work best for the event, which users can send to the person who has motivated and inspired them to achieve their dreams!

    21st Of January: Send a Hug Day

    With sub-categories such as ‘Love Hugs’, ‘Warm Hugs’, ‘Cute Hugs’, ‘Friendly Hugs’ and ‘Thank You’, there is plenty of room to experiment.

    We’ll cover in details one of the important criteria for making great ecards in this blog. To start off with the most important:

    Research:

    While doing your research the key questions to answer are:
    How is the Holiday season celebrated in different parts of North America?
    • What are the religious beliefs surrounding the festivals?
    • What type of food is most popularly associated with the event?
    • What is the latest trend with respect to the holidays?

    Here is some quick information about upcoming holidays:

    Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day that sees scores of shoppers trying to make the best use of the fabulous deals available in stores. It also marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.

    Winter in North America means a lot of snow in most parts and frozen lakes. Thus it is a perfect time for winter carnivals and ice skating on the lake. Christmas is marked by attending church services, decorating homes with Christmas trees and exchanging greetings and gifts with family and friends. Of course, Santa plays an important role on Christmas as no Christmas tale is complete without Santa and his bag of goodies.

    All these elements can be reflected in a card to make it beautiful. Users must be transformed into another cheerful land with pleasant visuals and feel the holiday spirit. But what makes a card likeable is the perfect combination of visuals and messages. We will keep you all updated with the upcoming festivals and events.

    Until then,

    Keep Designing!
