Rosemary's Card

I designed the card that Rosemary found in her house and which made her coma back to the bereavement sessions.

For that I used Photoshop.

I have looked at different examples of "get well soon" cards on google images.


























Then I looked at some card with monkeys to know how to draw one.

I also looked at more detailed designs of monkeys since it is more of my style. #

I also looked at the hand designs and the hang ten symbol:

I particularly liked one of styles:

It reminded me of GORILLAZ and their style:

Due to very short amount of time before shooting the drama, I had to abandon the idea of sketching the card and the monkey itself. In the end I looked at FLICKR and found a free image of a monkey.

I used Photoshop to edit the photo. I added yellow line above the monkey and i rubbed off its parts to make it look more interesting than just a simple yellow bar. I drew glasses on the monkey and added some more details. I have also written "hang lose"  on it, but I wanted to add some more details. I have asked my friend to finish it off for me.

In the end we decided not to use the prop. Rosemary actress described the card very well in her dialogue and her very emotional act would be not as powerful if she had the card with her to show it. Moreover I believe she would still describe it, so it did not make much sense to have extra prop like that in this scene.
