Midterm

Midterm: Due Week 5, May 2: Create a Professional Promotional Piece/ Postcard. 

It should be a 2 sided card that features at least one of your photos/artworks and has your contact info. Make it clear what it is that you do or the service you provide or would like to be hired for. There will be time in class to work on this the week before it is due. What to Turn In: Bring 2 copies of the double sided final print on cardstock (approx 5x7” in size) as well as the digital file saved as a TIFF. (if you cant have the printer print double sided, cut out and paste them together so it looks like an actual promo card) 

Reading: Classroom in a Book Section 7, starting on pg 187 When you are ready to print this professionally for yourself, perhaps down the road, Vista Print www.vistaprint.com is a good website to use. Vista Print is for printing large quantities of promotional materials (I think the minimum is 100), but for this assignment, you only have to make 2 postcards.
