  3. And what are the US postal standards? I am sorry, I don't know that because I am from Europe.

  5. I like how clean Emily's looks. I do like the handwritten notes from Inbar6677. If someone can strike a balance between all those...we will start to be on the right track.

  8. By regular, we assume 4" x 6". If the dimensions are wrong, the card has to be re-done to the proper size... I might add that a half sheet (8.5" x 5.5" or 4" x 9") stand out from the rest of the mail better than a small 4"x6"...

  9. hi jason. it would have been appriciated to know more clearly, why u eliminated my designs, after u feedback them with:" crazy about the overall design", or maybe you forgot thre "not"?.... than i would not waist my time on more designs from the same style.

  10. and another comment, but i really don't mean to be rude:
    if the postcard is for attracing new users, so one with your picture, that taking the whole place, isn't so selling.
    it can intigrate with the rest, but if it is the main subject, it loses the power of :"where will u be one year from now?",it is not arousing curiosity.
    but this is my own opinion.
    anyway good luck!!

  12. I personally love #15. That is the one that draws most attention in my opinion. Great looking card! :)

  13. Inbar: I appreciate the advice. However, I am the copy writer. I know what copy works for my industry.

  14. hi jason, didn't mean to imply diffrently.
    was only putting my opinion as someone who, for this purpose, will get a postcard like this. and it wasnt about the copywriting, i ment for the design, and didn't mean against anybody, if someone have been insulted..
    again, good luck, and great day :-)
