Design the front and back of a postcard that might be sent from the location of a movie or a work of fiction. Both sides of the cards must be created as graphics.
The front should use graphic design elements that provide a sense of place or use the classic motifs of old postcards (“Greetings from ______”)_, both pictures and text. The back of the post card should contain a stamp and postmark that fits with the theme of the movie, as well as an addressee and a message that fits the plot as well.
The inspiration was a fanfiaction assignment created by a UMW student in Spring Semester 2011- see the excellent set of LOTR cards at http://cupofchai.umwblogs.org/2010/11/22/fanfiction/
This is a 3 Star assignment.
For this assignment I decided to make my postcard be from Hogwarts. I love the Harry Potter Series. I decided to make this post card from Ginny Weasley. This is because she is the first character that came to my mind for some reason and I thought it’d be more relatable to write a post card from someone other than the three main characters which are Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. I found the picture of Hogwarts on Google Images (link to picture here) I then opened it up in paint and wrote “Greetings from Hogwarts” on it so it would look more like a postcard. In this postcard Ginny is writing to her parents reflecting on her first few days at Hogwarts. If you’re going by the books this postcard would take place during Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. This postcard was sent before everything happened with the basilisk. For the postage stamp, well in Harry Potter everything is delivered by owl so where the postage stamp was I put a picture of a beak from the owl.
