card printing decision

This is one of my cards at zazzle.com. They look good, they’re printed well, but really- at 5″ by 7″ they seem a bit large. When I see my stuff that big I get a bit queasy. Lucky for me, the subtler cards that I had printed at moo.com are a bit smaller. And a bit less shiney.

At a tad over 4 inches wide and about 5¾ inches tall, I think they’re just about perfect. The finish is a bit softer than zazzle’s gloss, too, which helps them feel a bit less in-your-face. I have the pen and ink sketches sized and ready, but I’m still a bit hesitant. Moo is my preference, but in reality, I’m not sold on marketing. If I get them, they’ll just sit around in their cool moo.com box and gather dust. Decisions, decisions. Without a real plan it’s just feeling too self-serving.

Even though the sock monkey on the back might still seem a bit “in-your-face,” I’m happy it printed well. I think it beats having my name on the image.
