Opinions on Custom Card

canjond

I'll be the first to admit that I love the custom cards this board creates. I have a small pile of cut signatures I collected over the years and never could figure out an aesthetically pleasing way to display them. After seeing the customs you all create, I knew you solved my problem of how to display. Well, I've been feeling a bit sick this weekend so decided to give my first custom a go. I'd love to hear some feedback on what you would change, what looks good, etc. Positive and negative - lay it on (the red area is the area that would be cut out).

If you are not going to slab them, I would make the bottom border bigger on the cut out area. Also, I personally have a cheap computer and while if I used photo paper, that might come out alright...I would however be worried about so much black. That never prints well for me. Are you printing on cardboard? Perhaps a test print is in order.

I also like the custom's better when they have a card back.

I do like the design itself. My only thought on it is to make sure it was a design I would like most of them done in...as I would make mine match. Of course this is not needed....but at least I would want subjects to match.

I have never made a custom card so the thoughts of others should outweight mine I imagine.

Jon .. WTG! Looks nice! I know you want the Presidential Seal to be in the background, but I think it may look nicer if it was brightened up ... almost like the flag.

Great points all - exactly why I asked you guys!

I agree the cut out portion should be moved up. I also plan on having a back, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Personally, I like the black background... I also plan on using a printer at my office which is a full color laser, so I'm hoping the quality will look decent (and yes, will print on cardboard and slab). Thanks again!

Very tasteful. Be sure to post another picture once the signature is included.
