Postcard Design Brief
I'm a freelance pharmaceutical copywriter trying to attract new clients before the end of the summer vacation season. I have a creative commons stock photo already picked out, I need a skilled designer to incorporate the included copy. As far as tonality, I would like to communicate a professional and energetic mood to counter-balance the visual. A little Caribbean whimsy might be cool to carry over to the back. Please try to keep the line breaks on the front headline as is. I've indicated on the copy that my contact information must be prominent. Not used car salesman-like, but tasteful and in tone with the rest of the layout. I'm selling my ability to write, so an easy-to-read font is a priority. I like the color palate of the picture. Also: Please design according to US Postal Specifications for Oversize 8.52" x 5.47" Postcard.P.S. August is right around the corner, so timing is a huge priority.
