I began my online research by looking around the UK Greeting card website. I wanted to get an idea of what styles they have and what there aims are.
They have many products for different companies all with different style and aims. For example the Thinking of you cards have the slogan 'Great Quality, Great Value' and Hanson White is 'The Home of Humour'. When i create my card collection name I can think of a short message that will represent my theme well. They talk about cards as having a large mix of designs with different aims and the saw this and thought of you moments. They are very open to you sending them card designs and submissions. Due to there being a mix of photography, illustration and type cards it is safe to say that any type of style I try will fir with there company well.
Looking at other card websites such as Hallmark when looking for a card based on music you can buy cards that play little tunes when you open them and there are cards with instruments etc on them however there are no cards like my idea that include lyrics and link to a certain genre of song. When looking specifically for song lyric cards I found that you get put onto sites that personalise the cards for you which can e good but also more expensive and this means you have to plan far ahead.
Looking at gift bags and wrap the more simple the design the better. It is also better to not include words because then it will relate to more occasions. The repeat pattern is what is used for wrapping paper and I will need to create something that works well over and over again and can e used for oth men and women of a verity of ages.
