Postcard Design

Al Holt (4565)

 For my postcard design, I for the time being made it quite simple. Applying the rules of closure and continuation throughout the series, more so as seen in the coloured versions. The mercury based postcard using the letters 'Hg', uses raification to build the letter 'H'. The theme I chose too go with is quite literal, employing the use of 'elements' from the periodic table as design elements. All four elements are from four separate groups, yet all these element fall into a group of some form of 
metal;




Sodium (Na) – Alkali Metals

Mercury (Hg) – Transition Metal

Tin (Sn) – Basic/Post-transition                                                        Metal

Tellurium (Te) – Semi/Metalloid

The colouring of the postcards is based on the tints the selected blocks on most common periodic tables have. The overall lighting will be set to tints (light) rather than shades.
