Vector illustration 'Janette' on a poster as a birthday present

October 20, 2017

Vector illustration 'Janette'. It was printed on a poster as given as a birthday present

Girlfriend Janette once showed me a photo of herself, enjoying a warm autumn sun. And because I needed an original birthday present, I used the photograph as a base layer for a vector illustration.

The illustration was printed as a high quality poster and framed.

Made with Adobe Illustrator and with a lot of time to spend. Especially the zipper of her jacket was 'quite' time consuming.

Vector Illustration Birthday Card 'Zoë'

**Picture 1 of 4** - Illustration on the birthday card for our daughter Zoë

**Picture 2 of 4** - The birthday card and envelope

**Picture 3 of 4** - The birthday card and envelope with seal sticker

**Picture 4 of 4** - The front and back of the birthday card

When you become parents for the first time, you want it all to be perfect. Even the birthday cards.

With a graphic designer and an interior stylist as fresh new parents, this side project took a little longer to get to the finish line.

The house in the illustration depicts our house and the crane bird has special meaning to Janette and her family. The cats are cartoon characters of our two cats.
