Design A Postcard

Apr 9, 2008 by Jennifer Farley    5 Comments    Posted under: Design Stuff!

An Post (the Irish Postal service) are inviting anyone and everyone to design their own postcard as part of a large exhibition that will tour Ireland in 2009. The idea is to design and make a postcard then send the card to An Post. The design can be absolutely anything and this sounds like a great opportunity for anyone interested in graphic design or art to get their work seen. Here’s an example of a previously designed card;

I’m definitely going to put together a few designs myself and send them on. This involves something I haven’t done for a long time – buying a few stamps!! You can find more details here on the An Post C Both Sides website.

  I think so too, you can design it the way you like. Flowers, landscapes, animals, no limits for your phantasy.

  That is such a cool idea.

  I’m going to do something in photoshop.

  Maybe a picture of a mug of beer with a four leaf clover coming out… as though the clover was a lemon?

  Or maybe the clover is like a lilly, floating on the surface?

  @Adam >> I think it’d be great to see a clover floating on the head of a certain stout beer

  I think that designing your own postcards, especially holiday cards, sounds like a lot of fun! The possibilities are endless- people, landscapes, flowers, holiday rituals and symbols, the list goes on and on!
