SO YOU WANT TO BE A GREETING CARDS DESIGNER?: PG LIVE LONDON

SO YOU WANT TO BE A GREETING CARDS DESIGNER?: PG LIVE LONDON

Posted by Rebeca Romero on 3rd Jun 2015


Progressive Greetings: The international card show is taking place right now at the Business Design Centre, London. The U.K is one of the biggest card senders in the world and this massive card fair is nothing but a prove of it. 

Are you a young designer interested in venturing into this area? My best advice would be to go visit one of these massive trade shows and get a grip on competition , trends and costs. You'll be able to make yourself an idea of where the market is moving towards to and get some inspiration from your future fellow card designers. 

With everything from the more traditional card design to young and new initiatives PG Live is a great place to spot trends, put yourself in the customer's shoes for a while and look through their eyes. How are certain colours making you feel? Do you think making people smile opens the way to making a sale? What makes you stand out in the middle of a sea of design?

The greeting card industry is a multi million pound one, and even when extremely competitive who said you can't have fun on your way to card design world fame? Here some shots of some smiley artists we talked to during our visit to the show, including our very own Rocket 68, rocking PG Live, until today only! 

Luckily her gorgeous prints can be purchased HERE for longer than that :)
