The brief is to develop a Mother’s day card for the 2010 range, which will be more of a contemporary send to a modern Mum.
In the past we have focused on floral themes for our Mother’s day competitions and we are hoping this brief will see lots of fresh and original ideas submitted.
Think of traditional Mothers day icons but give them a modern twist with contemporary type and trendy colours. Flowers can be more stylised and unusual, combined with graphic pattern and handmade elements such as buttons.
You could also base the design around typography.
Do some research and visit the trendy and contemporary card retailers on the high street and think about the type of mother that you are designing for.
This is a fun and modern brief but remember it would still need to be suitable for the Marks and Spencer customer.
Deadline for the Contemporary Mother’s Day Card Competition is Thursday 5th March 2009.
