Sometimes when I give presents I don’t bother giving a card. It’s lazy but if it’s a present given in person, then it’s pretty obvious that I’m giving that person that present. It seems redundant to give a card, because usually cards are fairly generic and people will barely read them before they quickly move onto the main event: the present.
However, when a present is not thoughtful then I feel like I
have to make up for it with a more personal or interesting card. A prime
example is when I give money (or gift cards), a card seems more necessary not
only as a vehicle to hold the money but also to show that I put a bit of thought into the present (instead
of just opening my wallet and handing over some money).
So I decided to make a very simple card to hold money. The
entire card is a robot head and it has two slits in the mouth to hold the money
in place. (He just loves the taste of money and his eyes match its leafy green
color when he’s eating his most beloved treat). The design is quite minimal
using very basic shapes. It’s a silly card but it makes me smile.
