It starts with a proposal (&#8220;Will you marry me this Christmas?&#8221;), leads to a festive home, and concludes with a family celebration.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Vector Character Design:<\/b> Every character\u2014from the gingerbread couple to the child\u2014was meticulously crafted in <b data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"110\">Adobe Illustrator<\/b>. I used the <b data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"140\">Shape Builder<\/b> et <b data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"158\">Appearance Panel<\/b> to create the &#8220;baked&#8221; texture effect and soft shadows, giving the flat vector art a premium, 3D feel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Advanced Print Layout (Inversion Logic):<\/b> One of the key technical achievements was the preparation of the <b data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"106\">bi-fold print file<\/b>. As seen in the layout, I manually inverted the top panels by <b data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"187\">180 degrees<\/b>. This ensures that the house illustration and the &#8220;Merry Christmas&#8221; greeting are oriented correctly once the physical card is printed and folded.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Typography &amp; Branding:<\/b> I combined a playful, handwritten font for the dialogue bubbles with a clean, classic serif for the formal greetings. Every element is a 100% vector asset, ensuring perfect clarity at any print scale.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-891\" src=\"https:\/\/ali-bakhit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ali_christmas-card\u0628\u0641\u0627.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ali-bakhit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ali_christmas-card\u0628\u0641\u0627.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/ali-bakhit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ali_christmas-card\u0628\u0641\u0627-450x124.jpg 450w, https:\/\/ali-bakhit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ali_christmas-card\u0628\u0641\u0627-1200x330.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ali-bakhit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ali_christmas-card\u0628\u0641\u0627-768x211.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1080px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-887-1\" width=\"1080\" height=\"306\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/ali-bakhit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ali.bakhit.design-Instagram-photos-and-videos-1.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ali-bakhit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ali.bakhit.design-Instagram-photos-and-videos-1.mp4\">https:\/\/ali-bakhit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ali.bakhit.design-Instagram-photos-and-videos-1.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>Designed by : <span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Ali Bakhit<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Concept: A narrative-driven holiday card series telling a heartwarming story of family, home, and celebration through custom vector illustrations.
