The Journey Of A Greeting Card Artist

By Arthur Wood


A greetings experts of today have to go by the duties of sharing sentimental messages from a sender to the receiver. Companies and individuals share this platform as the greeting card artist works his wand in ensuring the correct messages are conveyed. Occasions and anniversaries are the main podiums the illustrator gets to display their talent of making the accessories.

Earning of such royalties depends on the company terms and conditions. Some companies may offer the service to both its employees and customers as a gesture of appreciation. Greeting accessories have been in existence since the print media came into existence. Birthdays, quick recovery messages, congratulatory messages, business cards, and Christmas are such anniversaries that are marked on calendars where receiving of these accessories is optimum.

The primary role of these cards is to let a loved one or rather employers pass their gratitude towards the subject. An artist will put in a short message on the card, and then place some graphics on the card. A good example is a Christmas kind, which should be presented perfectly. An expert may start with a short Christmas message, also adding a Santa Claus graphic picture on it. The name and address of the receiver will follow in that order.

An artist best expression is through the graphics of these greeting accessories. Artistic skills and capability are primal in the relevance of the item. If the illustrator happens to use a stale image, the card will not influence as much as it would have if the drawer put in some fresh graphics. Personal skills of the drawer are an added advantage to the illustrator, as they will display their expertise to a wider platform.

In the industry of designing the accessories, animators are the most prized in this business. Messages are almost similar, graphics are the determining factor in employment in a company specializing in this production. Companies that have been around for years stand a better chance, whereby they look for experts with fresh ideas as time goes by.

It is an already established industry, the expert gets to enjoy a hefty pay as their remuneration for their quality work. Some artists enjoy such profitable deals and make livelihoods out of this business. Considering the fact, talent, a laptop, and a printer are all one needs. It has become the best deal that the art industry can offer to a specialist however fragile the start-up is.

Most senders prefer to send it through the mail. However, if they want to add sentimental value especially when delivering quick recovery messages, most prefer delivering the cards personally. Since the innovation of music in gift cards, sentimental value has improved. The recipients now value the accessories even more.

Lastly, the history of this messaging alternative dates back to the Chinese, who conveyed goodwill messages and the Egyptians who wrote on papyrus scrolls. Nowadays these options are made from hard paper. Graphics drawn are imprinted and messages printed on the nearly completed piece. The original piece is duplicated readily to hit the market. Most of the cards later sealed in envelopes with an exception of the postcard. The postcard has its address at the back with the graphics in front.
