They could be just one photo on the front, or maybe a collage of several photos, a hand drawn picture/comic strip,text over a picture - or anything else you think would work!
So please add a comment to suggest photos from the flickr group (from Monday at the Castle) that you think would work - or let us know if you're working on a design, or any ideas. You can post images here or to the flickr account - or send to Jackie by email. Jackie & Bec will be meeting on Tuesday 4th August to finalise the designs & send to printer - so it's a very quick turn around!
The aim of the postcards is:
- to give out at outreach portrait-making sessions during the summer, as an invite to the Heritage Open Day at the castle where people can see their portrait and explore the trail of portraits around the site - or bring friends to have portraits taken during the open day. Also to give them the blog address as a way to follow the project, and take part.
- to have a second print run after the outreach sessions (same front, different back info) that promotes the open day, times of shuttle bus, activity at the event, and blog/flickr to send in your own portrait if you havent already made one!
Here's a couple of examples from other projects. The print company we will probably use is http://www.gillinghampress.co.uk/3.html (tech specs: min. 300dpi, 3mm bleed CMYK, text rasterised, format: pdf /tiff with layers) - if that doesnt mean anything to you, don't worry, just keep the quality/file size as high as possible and we'll sort it out afterwards!
