It is going to be a very simple and creative swap! All you have to do is to make one postcard using one nice photo! This is themed swap "My summer memories", the thing is that you have to use a photo from your summer holiday, it could be from few years back, you just have to mention the time and why did you choose this photo for sending. You could choose any theme, paint or write something on photo before printing, use frames or anything you like. Create something nice, it could be photo manipulation, too, as long as it is your own photograph. Overall, I recommend NOT using glossy photo paper, matte is way better because matte paper does not have the shiny surface as glossy photo paper has, and it does not reflect colors as glossy paper does. Matte paper does not pickup as much dust as glossy paper does. Photos have to be professionally printed! After printing photos stick some hard paper on the back to make it tough. Stick some stickers if you like and write something nice. MAKE THIS PHOTO LIKE A REAL POSTCARD! Send it naked! Do not use envelope, remember, you made photo-card and it has to be sent as a real postcard. Please, print your photo on REAL PHOTO paper, better not home printings but as long as it looks professional it is O.K. Photos should be good quality. The minimum mailing requirement for a piece of mail throughout the USA is 3" x 5", that means that your photocard can't be any smaller. You are going to have 1 partner and send 1 photocard. Have a nice time making this photo-card! |
