ISTD (Not Just Fleurons)

My end result was a set of 10 educational but typographic flashcards using some of the phrases from the plant growth song. I made the cards leaf shaped to emphasise the plant/garden theme. These were individually created and the set is then tied together with an orange ribbon bow. The cards can be used as an educational game as each one is numbered. Children are encouraged to try and put the process of plant growth in the right order. To check if they’re right they have to turn the leaves over. I’m really pleased with the final outcome. I think they look really cute as a set. I enjoy creating experimental typography so this kind of brief worked for me. The bright colours and the shape of the cards represent gardens really well. If the cards were to be made then they would be printed on very thick card and die-cut into a leaf shapes.
