Greetings From

Greetings From turns holiday photos into the kind of postcard you used to buy at a kiosk, except the view is yours. The picture sides use the riso style: blue ink, a red accent and bold grotesk type, with the place name set big under the photo like the old greetings-from cards. The set has four designs. The first and last pair a photo with the place name, the second is a full-bleed view with no words at all, and the third puts two photos side by side, the beach and the café, the bridge and the street, with a line of text underneath.

Every back is a proper postcard back: a short caption line at the top left for where and when, a message area, a divider, address lines and a stamp box, so they can go through the post. Send them from the trip, or print them when you get home and post them to the people you thought of while you were away.

One sheet gives four postcards, picture side on side A and the message and address side on side B, so print double-sided and flip on the short edge. With fewer than four designs the sheet repeats them, which is handy for sending the same view to several people. Use 200 to 300 gsm card so it survives the post, print at 100%, then cut once across and once down the middle on the tick marks. The set uses 5 photos across 4 postcards.
