For the CNY card design assignment, as it will be the year of the sheep, I took reference to the image I found above and adapted the design onto the front of my card. Unlike traditional Chinese paper cutting (which is very typical and often seen on CNY products), I decided to go the different way - paper pasting.
I separated the image of the sheep into 2 parts- beige and red. As the card itself is red, I will be using it to my advantage and just delineating the sheep/goat figure from the paper by black ink. In order to make the card attractive and appealing to audiences, I made it slightly 3D by cutting out the parts in beige on a separate piece of paper and then pasting them on the red sheep figure, making it three dimensional. Since I also used the same beige colour for the decoration of the borders, the colour schemes match, making the card appear simplistic as well.
Overall I am satisfied with the outcome (despite the fact that the glue inside the card wrinkled the surface... um), however I feel it can be improved if I had more "cut-outs" pasted as one side of the card still looks a bit bare. But otherwise it is simplistic, and appealingly festive.
