      Thanks for the feedback on the front side. I think I'm happy with this design in general but I'm doin' anything super wrong (dude, the USPS won't handle because the image is 1/128th of an inch to far into the address area) I'd love some feedback.

      And or, you know, any general feedback (sorry I know 'general feedback' is super hard to give, lol)

      Thanks! 😃

        If I was an agent, I'd seriously snap you up so fast for a book project! It looks awesome to me

          I don't have experience with creating or sending postcards, but from an aesthetic perspective it looks excellent to me. Great job!

                  Hi @Braden-Hallett, looks amazing. Love how your using the rope to catch an agent!

                  The only thing I can think of is maybe adding a “Thank You” as a watermark?

                  Cheers!

                    @Jeremy-Ross Hehe, so does the fat passive bunny represent the agent? ^^

                        @Braden-Hallett This is so great! I'd be thrilled to see this in my mail. I would only suggest having the contact info not bold (if only your name is bold it creates a nice contrast), and maybe give it more space between each line, they feel a little cramped.

                          Killer! I really dig the fix on the front side. I have one more little nit pick XD This can be subjective, but the spot illustration feels a little cramped. I'm not sure where your safe areas are. I bumped them over to the right a bit and down a smidge. It felt a little more balanced and you can avoid getting the edge of you illustration cut off. Excited to see where these lead you!

                            @Norman-Morana In this particular case, (though I agree with you)
                            I'm going by a USPS postcard template (address area should be X inches wide, barcode area should be Y inches high) so it's kinda jammed over to the side for the postal system 🙂

                              Thanks everyone! I'll make a couple of changes to the font and then get it printed 🙂

                                @Jeremy-Ross @romy I hadn't thought of it as catching a fat rabbit agent, but now I do, lol

                                  @Braden-Hallett Oh that makes so much sense! It had seemed uncharacteristic haha. If you find it bugs you, maybe play with the scale a little. My day job is as a production artist, I can't help but see these little details 😅

                                  I didn't pick up on this on my first read, but I love that the front is them chasing the rabbit and on the back we get the payoff. Very clever.

                                    Thanks! Story telling is the whole idea, right?
