Random VP question. I've used them a billion times (not quite as creatively as most of you) but I've never used my very own pictures before. Well DH and I have a cute picture of use with "Thank You" written in the sand from our photog. I want to make it into a postcard but VP tells me my res is too low (it is 300 PPI but the site is telling me it isn't after it is uploaded?). Has anyone used their own pictures or run across this? I don't mind just trying it and seeing what will happen if I can get the freebie post cards but I thought I'd ask the experts here first. :)

 

Thanks!

I'm about to make our first order with VP but I'm having a hard time coming up with my own design. I've tried searching for a thread that deals with this but I've tried sorting through it all and haven't found much. So how did you all come up with your designs for std's, postcards, etc.? I've heard powerpoint and photoshop but what if I don't have either. Does anyone know where I can get something like that or is it pretty easy to just design the stuff right on VP?

I am having the same problem, I would like to know if anyone ordered when it said to low as well!

It is easier, and cheaper to use VP designs, if you don't like exactly what they have go to their add imageg option then search their image library for something you like, for example you can use a starfish they have on their site then use it for all of your stuff. I made different things but used the cruise ship for a lot of my stuff.

I love the idea of creating postcards to put in the OOT bags for guests to send back. I have created the design, but I am wondering from someone who has already ordered their postcards from Vistaprint, is it better to go with the standard or oversize size?

 

Thanks!
