First mood board for the Divorce greeting card

This is my first mood board in Illustrator. It was really hard to found some vectors which could fit to my mind maps about Divorce.

I used mind maps for discovering things for the graphic solution.

Assignment two: about secondary research

I put here some cards which I like. There are a lot of different cards for different occasions on Internet. I think the best of them (for me) are the illustrated ones. Humor and nice illustration make me happy (especially the card about the hell!). If the illustration is good for greeting card I am wonder how I can handle to make one, we will see.

We also may explore a possibility of a pop-ups or other form of card. So, I bought this beautiful books:

The pop-up cards are very interesting. I like the 3D effect, the possibility to let them on table to see them everyday.
