HOW TO SUBMIT
• Send card by email to GCDBlog@gmail.com (1 card per email message).
• Send .jpg or .png format
• Ideal resolution: minimum 72 dpi.
• Ideal size: Exactly 600 pixels wide (it will fill the whole blog screen without a slow download)
• Embed your contact info on the art (see example below).
You can put your info on the design or below the design. Just make sure it is part of the jpg image.
• If your card has a white background, include a black border around the card (see example).
• If your card has inside text, you can add a second jpg file in your email, but please put a black border around card if background is white. Otherwise it will disappear into the background.
• Send holiday cards during the holiday season. For exampls: send Valentine cards in January and February and Christmas cards in November and December.
• Use email Subject Line: BLOG CARD SUBMISSION
For holiday cards use: BLOG CARD SUBMISSION: CHRISTMAS (or whatever holiday).
• Be prepared that I might comment on card designs for educational purposes. Just like a book review, I often say why I like something and may suggest ways to improve a design. I'm a reasonable person, so I won't post cards just to criticize them. My readers and artists often tell me they value my feedback because they learn tips on card design.
EXAMPLE
→ Include Contact Information
→ Make sure your contact info is easy to read if it is 3 inches wide.
