\"Happy
Happy Birthday Message ^_^<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After over a month of no cards, my friend’s birthday came up earlier this month and I wanted to give her something since I hadn’t seen her in so long. Because she lives so far away, I decided to make another birthday web page for her!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t set any particular theme to follow so I got creative with another lettering piece which ended having an ‘organic’ styling. Below are some screenshots from the process ^_^.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"August<\/a>
Rough tracing version<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I always do a rough tracing version first and then refine it. I find it makes the task seem less daunting when all I have to do is start tweaking instead of spending ages making each letter perfect the first time round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"August<\/a>
Refined Version<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now all the letters have been smoothed out and I’ve added some colour. I didn’t like the black text because it appeared too blocky and took attention away from the decorative lettering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"August<\/a>
Final Version<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I ended up getting rid of my block letters and replacing it with a font I felt suited the style much better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final birthday image was put into a simple web page and sent it onto my friend, you can still check it out here<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
