Description:

It is going to be very simple and creative swap! All you have to do is to make some postcards using some nice photos! You could chose any theme, paint or write something on photo before printing, use frames or anything you like. Create something nice, it could be photo manipulation or something. I recommend NOT to use glossy photo paper, matte is way better because matte paper does not have the shiny surface as glossy photo paper has and it does not reflect colors as glossy paper does. Matte paper does not pickup as much dust as glossy paper does. Photos have to be professionally printed! After printing photos stick some hard paper on the back to make it tough. Stick some stickers if you like and write something nice. MAKE THIS PHOTO LIKE A REAL POSTCARD! Send it naked! Do not use envelope, remember, you made photo-card and it has to be send as a real postcard.

Please, print your photo on REAL PHOTO paper, better not home printings but as long as it looks professional it is O.K. Photos should be good quality.

You are going to have 2 partners. One photo-card to every of your partners.

No newbies, no recent 1's and 3's. I will go through profiles before letting this swap begin.

Have a nice time making photo-cards!

In my experience glossy is the better choice of paper for photographs that are going to be handled. Glossy tends to be more resistant to dirt, whereas matte is usually used for photos that are going to be framed. (Glossy paper + glass from frame = mega glare.) Is it ok to send glossy, or does it have to be matte?

It depends on you, send whatever you like ;).
