Free Toolsday for April 15th

Apr 15, 2008
Happy tax day! Here’s a great free tool to save yourself some green. Honestly, I’m not sure why it’s taken me SO long to tell you about this tool. Anyone who’s ever had to hire a graphic designer for a really simple postcard or business card knows how frustrating it can be to put so much back & forth into a project that takes the designer 10 minutes to flesh out. Not to mention how much money it costs. This is why PsPrint launched the fabulous Design It! tool last year.
Design It! uses state of the art online graphic technologies that allow you to design a business card or postcard in mere minutes. It’s super easy to do the design work and ordering online. With the tool you can either upload your own background or photograph or pick from hundreds of stock designs that PsPrint’s internal graphic design team have developed since the launch of this tool.
You may be weary to use it since it it’s provided by a printing company, but there’s no obligation to buy. At no time do you put in your name or email address or anything unless you decide to order. So you don’t have to worry about receiving junk mail or anything after just giving it a try.
All text boxes are very intuitive to use when adding your custom text, and you can change fonts, colors, and customize the photos or logos you use on the cards. When designing postcards you can even add your own indicia to mail the cards professionally. At last count there are over 300 different templates for the business cards and over 150 templates for the postcards. PsPrint even has an open invitation to users to submit their feedback about what templates they’d like to see and what would improve the system.
Give it a try today. You have nothing to lose!

too bad these are horrible designs. as a graphic designer I would be so saddened to see any of my clients think that this work is at all comparable to mine. They look generic and bland.

Of course as a graphic designer you wouldn’t want to see your clients use them… these are not meant for customers with access to a professional designer. They’re meant for people who do not have access, so these designs are much better than what they can come up with on their own (trust me on this, some of the designs I’ve seen come out of MS Publisher are horrific).

Most people just have access to MS Paint, so these are better than anything they could do at home. Although I’d still prefer someone pay ME to design their graphics
