I'm not a particularly crafty person. "DIY" scares me... a lot. Hence why I've been putting off much of the hands on wedding prep stuff. BUT things like basic graphic design interest me. I don't even want to tell you how much time I've spent in PhotoShop and Publisher working on wedding related things! And now I present to you one of said masterpieces... or, at least, the first draft... and really less a master piece than the best I know how to do! lol
A map to include with the invitations! I was VERY proud of myself. lol. I seriously kept this open on my computer for about three days, occasionally going back and looking at it and feeling accomplished (I'm kind of a nerd like that). I didn't want to just print out a Google map (didn't like the way it looked... I am a very visual person), but I also didn't want to pay someone else (or some website) to make maps for me, especially since we are doing the invites ourselves to save money... and since the map probably isn't that necessary. I mean, look at it... it's not the most complicated of instructions. But, I wanted one...
So, in typical kindergarten fashion I printed out the Google map, put a sheet of paper over it, held it up to a window, and traced! =) Then into my computer it went and the coloring/labeling commenced! I am proud! And can't wait to start getting everything printed!
I made the map for our wedding, too--and loved doing it! I'm glad to know I wasn't alone! :-) It looks good, Brittney.
ReplyDeleteI need to make our map too.... But I don't have any Photoshop or any fun software so I'm not sure what I'm going to do! I like yours, it looks good! =)
ReplyDeleteGreat job! We made our own map, too.
ReplyDeleteIts way more than I did! Looks great! You should be proud!
