Please refer to my site www.swirlsolutions.com for the look and feel and also would like to try and incorporate my caricature which is on the 'contact us' page.

Swirl Solutions does BlackBerry training and these post cards are to be given to any reseller to encourage them to give to their clients when the purchase a blackberry.

Want it to be fun and enticing to encourage them to come and learn about their blackberry's. Our tag line is "you don't know what you don't know" :-)

I haven't used this site in a bit and am wondering why no one has put any designs yet? Is it the deadline? the price?

BlueCherryGraphics · #3 12-23-2008, 10:24 PM

Hi,

You'll need to provide the caricature in vector format. If you don't have it in vector, you can provide high resolution JPEG or TIFF. We can't get it from the website as that will be a low res image not suitable for print.

dlarocqu · #4 12-24-2008, 08:15 PM

This is what I have for my caricature. If this isn't high res enough let me know.

sglasgow · #5 12-28-2008, 11:36 PM

Hi,

Could you post the high resolution vector, jpeg, or tiff of the logo as well?

Here are some first designs I have come up with. The bottom image is the proposal for the back of the postcard.
The images used are stock and thus low res for now.

Thanks,
Susan

dlarocqu · #6 12-29-2008, 11:57 AM

Here is the best resolution I can get.

sglasgow · #7 12-29-2008, 04:46 PM

The high resolution of your caricature is perfect.

Do you have a high res of the Swirl Solutions logo?

dlarocqu · #8 12-30-2008, 08:37 AM

Not being a graphic artist, I am not sure...please let me know.

sglasgow · #9 12-30-2008, 09:21 AM

Oh my, yes I did miss that. My apologies.

abby · #10 12-30-2008, 09:44 AM

Project Update: The project deadline has been extended to Jan 31st.

dlarocqu · #11 01-01-2009, 08:39 PM

Thanks for your design.

like the first front but no computer image and on the back I added some additional information to my original request above. I don't like the font style of the text in the middle, can you change that too?

Thanks and Happy New Year

sglasgow · #12 01-03-2009, 05:22 PM

Here are revisions.

Thanks,
Susan

dlarocqu · #13 01-06-2009, 10:36 AM

It looks a little too wordy, so have to rethink the back. Will post in the original again in a day. Thanks!

dlarocqu · #14 01-07-2009, 12:02 PM

Maybe some of the text can go on the front?

Ie Learn to be more productive, efficient AND save money!

The back: I have tried to use less text, can you try

I have added the changes to the text.

dlarocqu · #16 01-09-2009, 06:07 AM

Thanks again, that looks less 'wordy'.

Can I see a new concept from you?

minimi · #17 01-09-2009, 06:07 AM

Hi! here's my concept...I'm working on the back

Veronica

minimi · #18 01-10-2009, 01:48 PM

here is the complete postcard!

dlarocqu · #19 01-11-2009, 05:17 PM

Great, I like the 2nd round better, especially the back. Thanks...a few things

1. I don't want the business address on the bottom, as I train at off site.

2. there should be an s on charges

I like the first idea for the front page but if it could be in sync with the last back you did? Maybe it is the people look happier? :-)

I also have another image that could be incorporated in it if you think would work? Have attached it

minimi · #20 01-13-2009, 09:23 AM

Here are revisions!

dlarocqu · #21 01-21-2009, 07:42 PM

I was out of town.

Do you have some other photo's other than that guy? I don't really like that one and he is using a cell not a blackBerry. Or maybe I can't tell, can you give me a bigger version like the one above?

Thanks!

minimi · #22 01-22-2009, 03:38 AM

I´ll find another picture !

I´ll submit soon !

minimi · #23 01-22-2009, 08:40 AM

here´s with another picture and in a large size.

sglasgow · #24 01-22-2009, 10:44 AM

Here are my revisions.

sglasgow · #25 01-24-2009, 08:24 AM

Here are the backs with a slight adjustment, I reduced the text height.

dlarocqu · #26 01-24-2009, 10:11 AM

Discussed the designs with my partner and we like both and would like to see the following changes going from top to bottom. Also, we decided to change the audience so we can use the same postcard for 2 campaigns.

1. remove the word solution
2. the same font should be for all the next section of questions
3. please add a question mark for each of the bulleted items
4. change the last bullet to say Plus many many more. (Period, no question mark here)

all the text about discounts is removed and add this

Training that meets your needs:

Corporate Workshops
Scheduled Workshops
Webinars
One on One Training
On-line Video Training

Sign up online at www.swirlsolutions.com

Have a spot that an affiliate id can be put in

Now we like the back side of Minimi's and the front style of Sglasgow with the big help.

Can we see some more of everyones great revisions! Almost there.

Thanks so much...

sglasgow · #27 01-24-2009, 12:28 PM

Here is with the revisions and some design changes.

minimi · #28 01-24-2009, 01:48 PM

here´s the revisions !

dlarocqu · #29 01-26-2009, 02:47 PM

Thanks again for the revision, we are close...

Can I see one with the caricature to the right side?

The questions should all be in the same font and it looks like the question marks have a space before them?

remove the period after blackberry too

I don't like the guy in the picture, can you show a few different 35+ people, another man and another one with a woman?

dlarocqu · #30 01-26-2009, 02:54 PM

Thanks getting close to making a decision

On the back can I see

Can I see it without the period at the end of BlackBerry
there is a typo, should say charges with an s

Have a blank spot so the referrer can put their affiliate id

On the front

Should say BlackBerry Workshops with an S
Can I see a different font?
