"Dragon & Tauras" Baby Announcement Card Design Hong Kong

Saida and Alex approached me with this fun idea for their baby announcement card! They wanted a Dragon, an Ox in a Chinese landscape painterly background on their baby announcement card. The dragon delivering the baby to the Ox who is about to receive the new born baby with a moses basket. 

The Dragon represents the year (2012, Dragon year), while the Ox represents the month (May, Taurus), the baby was born.

I incorporated a traditional Chinese landscape painting onto the background to represent Hong Kong, China where the baby was born.

I kept the animals in western children illustration style as the baby has a Western origin and I also want ensure the overall feel of this baby announcement card would remain children friendly and not be too serious!

   

Tah Dah... this is the final work!
