1. What holiday/event does the card represent?

My second card represents Christmas again.

2. What type of images are used – photos, cartoons or graphics? How do the images used connect to the holiday/event?

The image used was a cartoon picture of Santa and a ginger bread house. The connection

is that santa is the one that gives away the presents and hes the reason for Christmas.

3. In your opinion, is the cover of the card attention-grabbing? Explain exactly why or why not. Consider the arrangement of elements as well as use of images, color and text.

It is attention grabbing because of the cartoonish feel. The different colors and elements

are attention grabbing too.

4. What text is written on the front of the card? Where is it located on the front?

The text says: It's Christmas! it is located on the top right hand corner of the card.

5. What text is written inside the card? Where is it located inside the card?

The text inside of the card is: Hope Christmas is filled with the best things for you- sweet 

treats, fun surprises, and neat things to do! It is located right in the middle on the inside 

of the card.

6. In your opinion, does the text inside the card connect to the image(s) on the cover? Explain exactly why or why not.

they are both connected to eachother because of the joy of Christmas and the picture.

7. What types of information appears on the back of the card? (Do not copy it exactly!)

There is a bar code, information on hallmark.com, and where the cards are made.

8. To what consumer is this card targeted? (Consider age group, gender, race and/or religion.) What about the design led you to this conclusion?

 this is more for the younger kids because of the way the card looks and what the text

looks like. it is a cartoon, and most adults aren't fond of cartoons.
