Green Youth Graduation Memorial Friendship Card

The card, "Green Youth Graduation Memorial Friendship Card", depicts a soft color palette and visually nostalgic and friendly graphic elements.

Color Scheme

Dark Green: The card includes a dark green background which provides a calming and organic aspect suitable for an academic or memorial presentation such as this card. The smooth, dark green color symbolizes a nourishing educational journey.

Natural Wood Tones: The wood-like background and textures add an organic warmth to the overall card design, anchored by a familiar natural colour tone which evokes many feelings of comfort and familiarity. A traditional study area fits rather well.

Photos Colour: The bright vivid photographic colours energize the card, and vivify the presentation as the memories immediately come alive and focus most attention on the cherished moments.

Soft Pink: The softly pink flowers reminds of a gentle affectionate vibe and tactically softens the overall card. The flowers add additional softness and friendship sentimentality to the youthful theme of the card.

Graphic Elements

Typography: The font used for the title "Our Youth Memorial" has a hand-made and informal style that fits with the personal and intimate memories the card hopes to house. The "We will remember each other forever!" phrase employs a simpler typeface to aid reading and emphasize that it is a sentimental message.

Illustrations: The drawings of the sketched icons (a camera and schoolbag) both lightly tone the card to maintain a playful aspect, suggesting youth and study characteristics and activities. The drawings also support the hand-made, bespoke style of the card.

Photography: The photographs chosen show actual studying, friendship, and companionship, and help to normalize the content of the card. The pictures are vibrant and colorful on a neutral background that helps them pop out from the card, encouraging engagement.

Texture and Layering: The use of texture (such as a fabric tag) and layering (many items, elements and images on top) give some depth to the design's aesthetic appeal, the more interaction, tactile and sensory engagement with the card, the better!

Flowers: The flowers are a soft, natural aspect, color value and texture of the card. Flowers and nature in general often connote beauty, austerity and especially transient time, and youth is also a very transient time of life.

Books and Ruler: These are representative of educational learning and learning environment structure. Their existence highlights the background of the learning era.
