Gestalten einer Retro-Postkarte in Affinity Designer auf dem iPad

<p>Hi Maureen, thanks for sharing your project with us! Looks like you were able to follow along well with the course. would you like any feedback?</p>

sure, but remember, I’m brand spanking new to vectors

Well you are doing great for your first time using vectors! I was just teaching vectors to a bunch of people new to them last night, it's exciting! My feedback is more on poster design than on the vectors themselves. I think your "Greetings From" is just crowding the top of the golden gate a little bit, and the cure of the text is not quite natural, I might suggest trying an iteration where that text is larger and straight and either cuts intentionally across the top of the bridge or else sits behind it. I would also suggest if you like the drop shadow on that text that you try carrying it through on the San Francisco text for repetition and see how it looks. That might also provide more contrast to make San Francisco more noticeable. Lastly I wonder if you could simplify your color palette further down to maybe just 3 or 4 colors total. I know that is hard to do, but it is a great exercise to do on these vintage postcards.
