Botched Batch

After 3 weeks of patiently awaiting, I received my precious mailers via UPS dude. I was so excited when he handed me my precious little box of postcards! As I fervently opened it, my excitement soon turned to glum bum as my eyes fell upon my work. one word came to mind: EW. The quality was REALLY nice as I had not only sprung for the 16pt dull matte super duper thick paper but also the rounded corners to go with my business cards. ( still awaiting those)

While the polka dot screamed beauty, the image I had worked with was a last minute throw in and being the impulsive, impatient person that I am, I sent my order in asap just to get it over with, instead of taking my time. Well if I would have A) worn my glasses B) looked carefully C) slowed down, I would have noticed the PURE FUZZINESS of my image as well as the NOT SO NICE text placement. what was I thinking???? In a moment of disparity, I sent in an order to Staples--48 postcards for $40. I know, pathetic. I will not have cute rounded corners, nor a nice dull matte finish. Although the image is high res and the back is still polka dot.

I have spent so much on these so called "MAILERS," which according to a lot of the art directors that have  spoken to our class, are pretty much redundant. I personally hate them and will never mail any out. It's a waste of money a waste of paper and a waste of my sanity. I'll stick to the business cards, which ultimately serve the same purpose.


What am I gonna do with 100 mailers??? Any suggestions?


ok the back IS pretty awesome.
