Submit your design

Are you looking for postcards (whether seasonal or for all occasions), which
are customized or made according to what you request?

We are offering graphics services and designs for the type of cards and/
or collections that you truly want.

Now that the Christmas and New Year's occassions are very near, you probably
already have bought items related to such occasions or, you are planning on
buying such.

However, most of such items in department stores and/or bookstores are not
made according to what you want. You probably have tried to examine each
available one to find what you like, but you couldn't find what you really
want anyway.

Thus, we will create such for you. Our website contains lots of images and
files which you can choose for your item. For example: we have images for
Christmas and we will be adding pictures/photographs of fireworks. Audio and
video files can also be added. A poetry section (which will contain several
poems), will soon be in our website.

Customized items

Upon your request, we can use images and poems which support each other or
are good together. Example: A Christmas card must have an image related to
the occassion (such as a Christmas tree and/or a decorated/artistic candle),
and a poem which is related to the occassion, and to the Christmas tree.

But, the good thing is: the items can be customized, which means that you
can choose the image and the other elements/parts of the card or product.
You can also choose to use an image which is not in this website (as long as
we have the authority or the permission to use it). Other examples of
customized items are:

1. Items with attached audio/video file(s)

2. Those with your picture or a graphics which you prefer/choose

3. A message or poem of your choice or creation

4. The designs/style, fonts, and/or colors match your tastes

5. Exclusive ones (those which only YOU or someone you know can use or view)

   By paying only a small additional fee, we will not share the item to others,
   unless of course, if you permit us to.

   The good thing about exclusivity is that it makes the item more special and
   even adds more sentimental value. For example, if you wish to send such to
   a loved one, that loved one will be more "touched" or "emotional" if he/she
   finds out that only he/she has that kind of item in the world.

   So, if you're courting (trying to gain the heart of) that person you like
   or love, our customized items could make that person feel very special,
   and would begin to like or love you as well.


How the cards can be viewed.

1. Page-type style: The first page of the card is shown. The next page can
   be viewed by clicking on the link or button which opens it. In that page
   there is another link: a link to the third page, and so on.

   In other words, the card is designed as if it is a series or collection
   of web pages on the Internet, in which you see the next page by clicking
   on a link.

   Normally, when creating a concept for customized cards, we place the link(s)
   at the bottom, so they are well organized and easy to find.

2. "True" card format: The cards in bookstores (or real, printed cards) are
   normally shown in this manner:

   You see the cover page of the card. Then, you open it to see the 2nd &
   3rd pages at the same time. You flip (or turn) the third page to see the
   4th and 5th pages. This is like reading a book: whenever you turn a page
   you normally see two more pages, then you start reading again from the
   left page.

   We can design customized cards following such a style. We also recommend
   this type since it looks more like a real card rather than simply a set of
   pages or cards. It could add to the "emotion" of the reader(s).


Notes: we can also design the card (whether the page-type or the "true" type)
   to automatically turn the pages after a pre-set or specific number of
   seconds. For example, the next page will open after 10 seconds. Many people
   like this since they don't need to use the mouse and/or keyboard. They
   simply need to "watch and read."

   It also makes the card look more original, rather than a traditional
   customized card.

   You may also request for this type of service by informing us of how
   many seconds (or minutes) you want the computer to wait before turning
   the next page.


Fees

If you wish to use a card which is available as an example in this website,
then you only need to pay for our Internet/computer-related fees and some
labor charges. The fee is only about $1. You can request for a lower price,
though.

However, if you wish to add or to change/modify the above example card(s),
then extra labor fees and/or Internet/computer-related fees are necessary/
needed.

If the card you wish to have is new (if we haven't made such before), then
kindly pay the following minimal charges:

1. Labor charges - we usually charge for $1.03 per hour (or $8.19 per day),
   but you can ask for a lower charge or price. However, by paying us a larger
   amount, we will be more encouraged to improve the quality and speed of our
   work. Plus, we may give you other bonuses in return.

   You may also offer us things/resources other than money. For example, if
   you are a writer you can offer to write a tutorial or article for us.
   Simply inform us of your proposal/offer in the form that you will fill up
   later. We will review/study your request and decide if such is acceptable
   to us.

   If you're in a hurry, however, (for example: you want to send your loved
   one a "cool" or presentable customized card as soon as possible, then
   you might consider paying us the regular or normal fees that we charge,
   so we can start as soon as possible.

2. Internet/Computer costs - these are usually minimal. We are being charged
   for the use of the Internet and a computer at around $0.55 per hour
   (or $0.27 per hour if we use it for 4 hours straight).

3. Mailing/delivery costs - If you want us to send the card/product through
   a mail or package, then please choose the "medium" or device that we will
   use:

   A. CD (compact disk) - fee: $1.28
   B. High-quality diskette - fee: $0.45

   Also, please pay for the charges of the delivery service company which will
   deliver the mail and its contents (Examples: Western Union, LBC).

Thus, if you want us to send the card/products through email or online only,
then by paying only $1.58 per hour, you can make your loved one(s) and friends
happy with our customized cards.


How we will send the finished/completed item to your recipients (people who
will receive your cards)

When you fill up the form, you can inform us on whether you want your
recipients to receive such through electronic or online ways (such as email,
a yahoo! group, online bulletin board, etc) or through mail (in a CD: compact
disk, diskette, etc.)

The recipient will also receive instructions on how to open the customized
cards, and we will inform them that you are the sender or our client/customer.


File types

Please choose one or more of the following for the file type of the card that
you want. Note that you can ask us to create one or more versions of the card
(for example: a Word document version and an HTML/web version) - the purpose
is to give your loved one or recipient more choices.

1. Word document type: the pages of the card can be viewed by "scrolling"
   (using the mouse) or pressing the PageUp & PageDown keys.

2. HTML/web type: the pages of the card can be opened using Internet Explorer.
   Frontpage and Microsoft Word can also open HTML/web types

The above files can also be zipped(compressed) or not. For more information
on these file types, please right-click on the following link and open it
in a new window: Tutorial.

	  in the market/bookstores/internet. In other words, these cards are
	  similar to those which you probably have seen before, although there
	  are still differences.

   Detailed/Advanced - for cards which are more customized (to the point that
	  the card can be like an album with many pages, two or more poems and
	  graphics, etc.

   attach them in the email, or if you can use HTML then you may choose to
   add such files in the email itself.

Regarding printed items

We are currently negotiating with printing services to be able to print your
customized cards and/or items soon. However, as for now, we offer customized
items which can be shared electronically (examples: through email, diskette,
etc.).

You may request for an electronic customized item now and then after we have
negotiated with printing services, we can print your item for only a small
additional fee.
