Marshall MacLuhan once said that the "medium is the message", and indeed it is.
For some, such statement could be something that should be explained in length in order to be understood.
How could the medium become the message? Well, why don't we explain it to you, in terms of the arts and crafts.
Everyone understands the arts and crafts.
Even a pre-school student had sufficient experience when it comes to the arts and crafts, this is why the arts and crafts is just the best medium by which we could explain MacLuhan's message.
The medium is the message.
Indeed, the medium that we would use speaks so much of the message that we want to convey.
More than the words written in our letter or cards, sometimes the design that comes with it says more and would mean more for the recipient of the letter and card.
MacLuhan's ideology on the medium being the message is the reason why most of us would go for handmade and personalized greeting cards.
Having the chance to make a card from scratch is one creative way to express oneself.
Imagine making, say a wedding card, that is made of all the priced and sentimental things from your wonderful relationship with the couple.
Isn't that fabulous? How about making a collage of all of your captured moments with the couples? They say a picture paints a thousand words, what more would a collage do, right? A collage of wonderful moments in film would be one of the best thing that you could give your beloved couple on their big day.
Using those memorabilia and pictures just further proved that indeed, the medium is the message.
Now, how about using the wedding stationery for your wedding card? It's a fabulous idea, isn't it? Have you ever thought about putting a touch of the wedding that you would be attending to your wedding card.
Infusing the beauty of the whole wedding ceremony using the wedding stationery would be the best way to combine the past and the future.
Using the wedding stationery as the base of your handmade card and decorating it with some of your pictures and memorabilia would be the perfect symphony when it comes to wedding card making.
The pictures and memorabilia would symbolize your wonderful past before tying the knot and the wedding stationery would just show the future, the romantically blissful life that they are about to live as the start their very own family.
