Projects
Holiday card print run
Picking the photo, sizing the file, and ordering 60 cards early enough to beat the December rush.
Choosing the photo
Three candidates from the year, posted to the family chat for a vote. The winner was the Capitol's holiday tree at blue hour.
File prep
Export at 300 dpi, 5 × 7 inches with 1/8 inch bleed, sRGB. Soft-proof on matte paper first: the shadows block up and need +10 lift.
Ordering
Order by the first week of December. Sixty cards, matte, with envelopes. Addresses come from last year's list.
