Let's work on those now...!

Checker Board Game Postcard
Following yesterday's feedback, I have started developing the card.


Format is now changed, the card will be folded.


I am also using USCREATES corporate colours.






I think that I will make a couple alternatives of games, which will be suitable for volunteers.

With this format, I am realising there isn't really much space for address, message and stamp.


By having the format landscape, it leaves space for  message as well as the address.


I'll need to have the postcard to be self closing as to not damage the inside but also that it doesn't open during its journey.

Template put together
I found the whole putting it together quite "fiddly".  I know that using thicker cardboard will help but I think indications need to be added to guide the recipient.

Conclusions, Conclusions...

Hmm, I think this will not go any further for the time being...  I find there are too many little things that are causing problems.

Box within Postcard

After cutting out the template out of the postcard I realised that the message wrote by USCREATES team would sort of disappear, unless it is written within the box template, however once folded what would it look like?

Could the instructions be placed discreetly within the recipient's address or the personal message?

Post It Booklet
A4 or A3?

A3 size
This booklet was made from an A3 size... It does give more "little pages" which is a plus, however, the card is thicker and now requires to be "held" close... but then again for the A4 size too to make it secure.


Mug Coaster Postcards

Cutting around perforation

Way too much space wasted...just seems such a waste if all there should be left is a Coaster.  I may rethink the format.

Recto
The format now is 14.5 cm by 10.5, the standard postcard size.  It enables me not to have so much "white" wasteful space which would just (very likely) end up in the bin!

Verso

Better but still a lot of "daunting" space as I think once the Coaster is gone, the card will be discarded!

Ooops, didn't mean to break it!

Maybe leave more space around the edges.
