Greetings cards by definition are small decorative cards that are sent to convey good wishes on special occasions. However, what if they weren’t? Monster Cards put a spin on the standard greeting card format by showing a small comically ugly monster insulting the recipient of the card. These small monsters have exaggerated features and complementary colors that set them apart from other cartoon characters on the average greeting cards you see today. These monsters are more than meets the eye however, for when opening the cards the insides reveal that the monsters were actually giving the recipient a complement with a comical “gotcha” moment. Monster Cards are a fun line of cards to get both friends and relatives to have a good laugh.

I created a bunch of different monsters and had my classmates choose which ones they liked the best that I would then make cards out of.
