Freelance Artists - GCA: The Greeting Card Association You are here: Home » Resources » For Artists » Designing for Greeting Cards Designing for the Greeting Card Industry The UK population spends £1.4 billion a year on greeting cards - more than it spends on tea and coffee - yet finding a route into this fiercely competitive industry is not always easy. There are two main options, either to become a greeting card publisher yourself or to supply existing greeting card publishers with your artwork and be paid a fee for doing so. The idea of setting up your own greeting card publishing company may sound exciting, but this decision should not be taken lightly. Going down this route will involve taking on all the set up and running costs of a publishing company as well as the production, selling and administrative responsibilities. The more common route, therefore, is to supply existing greeting card publishers with artwork. Some Greeting Card Language: Own Brand/Bespoke Publisher - These publishers design specific to a retailer's needs.

ImagineFX Issue 43 This month we’re featuring some of Asia’s new manga superstars, and who better to start things of than cover artist Stanley Lau with his much loved character Pepper. We talk to Stanley about the Pepper Project and the rise of his Imaginary Friends Studio, then we turn our attention to Chester Ocampo and the art of creating a manga-inspired special effects-attired character. In two of our workshops we focus on colour and light - Trevor Claxton shows us how to take images from black and white to colour with minimum fuss, and Ioan Dumitrescu takes us through the lighting of a night-time sci-fi scene. We then take the plunge with Lucasfilm’s Jerome Moo as he creates an aquatic scene using special water effects. The manga-filled DVD will aid you with your own Eastern-style illustration with DELETER ComicWorks, give your comic art a shot of inspiration with Blambot Sound FX fonts, and help you to develop more accurate character poses with a comic reference photo set from 3D.SK.
