Oh Matt, I love the "Goo Goo ga ga" one, its exactly what babies say and totally translates what you are doing. The others are great too, have you tried using baby pink and baby blue colours as well, since they're more babyish? Or are you sticking with the bright ones to disguise the fact its a baby card?
Hey Mary! thanks alot, i was going with the bright colours to get away from the typical colours in baby cards, but you might be right, baby blues and pinks might work better. I'll try them out see what works best. Thanks again
not sure if i'm very very wrong, but they remind me of text language, seems to be quite a predominant form of communication. maybe traditional greeting cards need to adapt to that?
but i like the sounds cards, something ambiguous and widely appealling about them
I like how ambiguous the aahh! card is! Could be a good ahh as in ahhh i just graduated or could be aaahh sorry to hear your dog died! Multifunctional!
