Cards and Calendars

Tuesday, October 24, 2006

With Christmas and 2007 coming up I have been busy making my own cards and calendars.  With so many cheep or free programs available to do these you can save, introduce a personal touch yet still produce a professional job.

Stock up with Bright White card 160gsm, in most cases you need to feed this into your printer in single sheets.

Cards:  I prefer to use a single fold layout, if you choose to use a two fold ie quarters layout a thinner stock should be used, about 90gsm. 

Calendars
:  Choose between Landscape or Portrate, Year to a Page or if you choose Month to a Page remember to use a thinner stock.  My preference is to use a Year to a Page layout with a photograph imported into the calendar and a quotation printed on the reverse.  As a final embelishment I laminate the finished print.

The software
should have its own library of designs including - clipart, photographs, vers and fonts.  It should also be capable of  importing and manipulating or editing these in several ways to suit your needs.
