Postcard #3 - Brazil

Our country this week was Brazil.....I learned Rio De Janeiro, Brazil is the Carnival Capital of the World.  Beaches are to Rio what Cafes are to Paris.  The Brazil flag is green,yellow and blue and the Brazil National Flower is Cattleya Labiata....Orchid.

I decided to do a collage postcard:  I show a beach in Rio as the background, did a 3-d effect with 2 models in fashion wear popped up on the card.   The fashion wear is more in line with the writer of the postcard, Zoey, who is in Brazil doing  a fashion shoot.

Postcard front:

My story line continues with Zoey corresponding with Ann, who is a columnist for a local newspaper, married a year and just found out that she is pregnant.  Zoey complains that she loves traveling but is not able to establish a serious relations.

Back of postcard:

I am so happy that I have taken on this challenge.  I  have looked at each postcard differently as far as how to design it.  I started this week again with the flag of Brazil.....I loved the look of it, the colors and was able to find a very interesting picture that depicted the flag through an eye.  I even started working on a flag postcard  and decided to go more with my fashion photographer character.  I am sharing the picture of the flag that I found on the internet as I thought it was beautiful.


I fell in love with this picture.....love the interpretation of the flag.

I look forward to learning out next destination to continue our journey.
