A MOCK–UP POSTCARD

[Oxygeniser]

I did a recent post about the negative re-branding of A+LUK, with all it's talk of 'fighting' and the new 'sticking plaster' logo. I don't know how much all this cost, nor do I know whether other strap-lines and logos were considered, but I do know that just to moan is not enough, so here is a mock-up A6 landscape postcard* with a positive message.

Postcards are a cheap and flexible way to deliver 'messages' and information, plus they are easy to distribute and fit into pockets. A postcard should also be clear and of a simple design. I hope mine is this.

The letter sent to me 'From The desk of Sara Woolnough, CEO...' was set in a small font. used lots of underlining and was overwhelming. I'm sorry Sarah, I have yet to read it. I could say it's because I'm having a cataract operation on Saturday (which is true), but I know that lots of older A+LUK supporters like myself will struggle to read your letter.

My image is copyright free. I'm sure there are plenty out there who can do better than me and I say it is a mock-up quite clearly. - Robert Howard.

NOTE: * I get 4 x A6 postcards from a sheet of A4 size card or 2 x 4-sided A^ postcards. They are great for short-runs and almost all home printers can take 200 gsm card (I use 210gsm).

Thanks cofdrop-UK. I suspect A+LUK needs to employ an editor with a red pen.

An amazing experience. So quick and very lucky, as only referred by my optician to my GP seven weeks ago, who forwarded it to the hospital and three weeks ago yesterday I had my pre-op and yesterday the op. I hope you don’t have to wait around too long. Robert.
