    This is a promotional postcard for a mens breakfast. Correction this ends 2.15.10

    I will supply 1 photo to be used and 1 logo to also be included. I will need the post card to be 5.66" x 8.5" (that is a 8.5 x 17" sheet cut 3 times) in a PDF file. You may use the postcard size any way you want in your design.

    Be creative with the colors used that work well with the photo. Can you use the Facebook button ?
    Ad copy as follows

    If this is being printed then I would also suggest that everyone uses CMYK and adjusts their photoshop proof setting so that you don't mess up the colors. Nobody will probably listen to me, lol, but it's just my advice if you want to do the job properly...

    Baker,
    Thanks for this tip. Anyone who does this should let me know in their submission as it might make an impact on the choose of the winner.

    No problem at all. Here's my first entry, CMYK of course but saved in RGB so that you'll know what the colors look like. My first attempt so if there's anything horribly wrong with it just let me know and I'll work on refining it. Thanks.

    Baker,

    I had to add the location that I forgot Foothill Community Church. The text under Thirsting is a tad plain. Any ideas ?

    Plain in what way? No shine to it like the main "Thirsting?" or you just don't like the font?
    I'll add the Foothill Community Church too :)

    Not sure if it font or shine. Just seems flat, sorry if that is hard to understand.

    Not at all, it's a good place to start experimenting and I guess it helps the others compete (boooo) knowing what it is you're after. Simply means you get the best for your money and there's nothing at all wrong with that :)

    arunefx Love the look of the font but don't like the bulap look of the photo.
    christ4404 I like the chalk looking font but dont like losing the photo and dislike the coffee.
    2and1 This is a good card and is in the running. I like that you changed the color of the photo.

    Hmmm, change of background, same facebook logo, Band of Brothers logo in the same corner, same black bar at the bottom... If I was a suspicious person I'd say that you were inspired by somebody else's entry :cool: But I'm just teasing you, it looks good.

    Haha honestly mate I only looked at the original post and saved the attached files and started on my own design. I don't copy other designers' ideas as that's not creative and doesn't really help you improve on your own work and knowledge either. :)

    carpetmuet: Thank you very much for the feedback and if you require any changes just let me know.
