Progressive Greetings Mag September 2013

I have taken photographs of the collections of gift ware which i was mostly attracted to.... 

I like the rustic look of the work by Velvet Olive as it is simple but effective. Using a plain background with  a variety of text in different scales is interesting as it makes you want to read it.
Also i love how they either use one colour or a small collection of colours which work nicely together.

I have researched these futher by looking at the website... http://www.velvetolive.co.uk/

 I liked this page in the magazine by Hallmark because i has a range of imagery on... Art, graphics, photography, collage etc and i know that Hallmark has a massive varierty of card and gift styles to suit everyone!  and here is their website.. http://www.hallmark.co.uk/

I was attracted to the bright colours used by 'The Art File' as it contrasts with the more subtle colours on gift ware that i have found. Also i like the quirky motifs used in repeat patterns.
The Art File does a whole range of styles which is visible here.. http://www.theartfile.com/
