Alex Baptism Thank You Card

Description

This card will be personalized with your pictures, wording (and more!) and sent to you as a high-resolution digital file that you can then use to have printed wherever you like.

I will work closely with you to customize this card to suit your desires. Almost anything on this card can be altered - the colors, number of photos, or fonts are all changeable. I often like to take the colors I use on a photo card from the photos I am given to give the whole card a more polished, personal, and cohesive look.

Once you have placed your order for this custom photo card, I will be in touch with you to start the process.

What I will need from you are:

1. high-resolution photographs that are at least 300 dpi. You can send just one or you can send a bunch. Whatever you'd like for me to fit in. If you only have low-resolution photos, I may be able to make those work too, for example, with a collage format (using several smaller pictures). I am able to touch up photos to remove shadows, blurriness, and red-eye. I can also turn them black & white, sepia, brighter, or darker, to match your taste and/or the card's design.

NOTE: In order to use professional photographs you will need a release form from your photographer with permission to use the photographs. I can't take any responsibility for the illegal use of copyrighted images. Most studios will give you a release form if you ask them.

Personal photos, of course, do not require a release form, and I will happily make even the blurriest photo of your toddler running away from you work in a greeting.

2. You will need to let me know what size greeting you are looking for. I can design a greeting to be printed at many different sizes, be it 5x5, 4x6 or 5x7. I can also create folded or tri-fold designs.

3. I will need your input on what you would like the greeting to say, and if you'd like the colors or fonts changed, or if you'd like the pictures in black & white, sepia, etc. Or you can just let me go hog-wild and present you with whatever I come up with on my own. I'm happy to make as many adjustments as needed so that you're happy with the final result.

What happens next:

4. Within 24-48 hours I will e-mail you a first proof. Look it over and respond with any comments or changes you have. I will make unlimited changes free of charge.

5. Once you are happy with the greeting, I will send you a high-resolution .jpg file of it so that you can have it printed wherever you like. Some of my clients have used Snapfish.com, Target, Wal-Mart, mpix.com, vistaprint.com... basically if it has a photolab, you can have it printed there. Ask me if you want specific suggetions for a printer based on the type of greeting (folded, tri-fold, photo) you want.

NOTE: I am also able to create a inside/back cover design for your card at no extra charge.
