Tips on designing your unique New Year card
Think of the message you want to tell your recipients
Your New Year card must have a good message on them. You can either have a generic message where you put in the same message for all your recipients or personalize each message on the card.
You should also think about what should be the vibe of your message. Should it be fun and relatable? Or should it be business-like? All of these should depend on who your recipients are.
Always remember, the more personalized New Year’s card is, the more special it will make your recipients feel.
Think of a theme for your design
If you create a New Year card for your brand or company, you should stick to your brand’s personality. You can keep it simple and classy, or you can make it loud and proud. The most common New Year theme comes with calendar dates and years.
When you are designing the New Year card, decide on a theme that is most suited to your personality so that when your recipients receive the card, they will instantly know who it was from.
Create a design based on your theme
Your color palette, font, and all other elements of your New Year card should align with your theme. These will create your overall design, and you don’t want elements that seem out of place on your New Year’card.
