Design Challenge for July

July 17, 2014

design challenge head

We’ve had a lot of customer requests and added categories this month already, so let’s have a Design Challenge.

Go to the Wanted: New Cards section of the Forum.

Choose a request made in July. (The challenge applies only to new requests made in July 2014).

Create a card design & upload/submit your new card to GCU.

Once the card is approved−remember, you’re allowed to Fast Track these requests−post the PID# here in the comments section of this post.

I will post all entries in the Design Challenge here on the Community blog. If you want extra exposure (good for your marketing), include a little something in your comment post about the card and/or yourself to get an individual feature. In other words, toot your own horn & you can have the blog post all to yourself.

Designers of the best marketable designs will receive an invitation to pin their card on a special Pinterest board.

The challenge will continue until July 31. On August 1, I’ll begin announcing.

Have fun, y’all!

    These are ideal opportunities for artists to leverage an existing & fitting design – re-purpose if you will OR use the no-charge high quality images of BigStock via GCU’s Stock Card Creations or a really fast start: http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/bigstock/

    We set shoppers’ expectations to see new cards for the consideration at 48 hours!

    Here’s another. PID#1295884. I really like the simplicity, words of strength and bright colors on this card. A wonderful way to cheer up someone who’s received their first Chemo Treatment.

    Personally, I love creating greeting cards and smile when a customer buys one of mine. I’m proud that they liked my creation and thought the person receiving it would too. It makes me happy to think my work is appreciated.
