So, below is the front and back of the postcard we designed. We ordered 1000 5.5 x 8.5 high gloss, two sided cards. So, what do you think?

• We got the art from Orange (we’re using Chase the Light curriculum)
• I used Cartoon Speech Collection from iStockPhoto.com.
• I used True Type Fonts “Unmasked BB” and “Crash Landing BB” from 1001fonts.com

We tried to create an energetic and fun card that was simple and too the point. Because we didn’t have a graphic artist available to complete this task, we used resources available to us… like the art provided by Chase the Light curriculum resource.

I’d love your feedback.

You may notice that I didn’t change the front of the card at all. Some suggested me making “kids quest” bigger. Actually I really wrestled with this; however, I realized that the point of the card is to draw parents to the fact that it’s time to register for camp. If they only see one thing on the card, I want it to be summer camp! So, I left it as it was.

The back of the card saw two more revisions. People suggested fixing the slanted red text. Several emphasized that I needed to explain where camp was. A few others suggested that I detail how much money parents would save by registering now. In my first revision, I put it all on the card. It didn’t look all that great. It was crowded. Information overload. The card is a teaser, not a brochure. They can get all the information that they need at the website. This card just piques their interest, drawing them in and making them want more. I feel very happy with how this turned out.

So, thanks everyone for your help. I’ll order this card this afternoon, so if you see a glaring typo before 5:00 PM CST… LET ME KNOW!
