So I do not believe that it is possible to make a card that will appeal to all men (or women for that matter). I am no fan of cards that look like a glitter princess threw up on them :D That being said, when I make a card for a specific (manly) person, I try to think about what he likes - nature, food, coffee, music, litterature, and then attempt to include some of those elements to the design. I have the impression that many men are not too fond of overly complicated cards with a load of embellishments (I am not either, so propably goes for both sexes), so I try to keep the cards fairly simple. I would also steer away from too many "girly" colors (sadly our society seems to have decided that some colors are "feminine")and use more muted colors. Again, this is also because of my personal taste. I think it is kind of sad, and limiting when most of the "masculine" cards only have mustaches, ties, coffee cups, golf and fishing equipment on them, like a real man canĀ“t enjoy other things. Heh, apparently I have some strong feelings on the subject :D <br />TL;DR: think about the person for whom the card is being made, and try to incoorporate some of their interests/color preferences instead of focusing too much on what is considered "girly" or "manly" as people are different :)<br />PS: I think the card is great, and would work for most people (unless they dislike plants for some strange reason)karenmariehansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766484152619973762noreply@blogger.com
