Homemade Postcards
For a personal project I designed and printed postcards! I pulled a few of my old photos as well as went on a mini excursion to find more postcard worthy photos.
I tried a variety of styles to see which ones I liked best. I put text on some and did nature photos for others. I think the postcards with typography are my favorite! I am excited to create more!
I also looked up the prices on various websites and locations and compiled them into a PDF: Postcard Prices
I ended up printing drafts at Alpha Graphics even though it was more expensive. I wanted to get an idea of what they will look like and I didn’t want to buy 500 yet.
