Do your research of who will give you the most affordable postcards for the quantity.
Check out their turn around time.  Become familiar with what they request for upload image size, bleeds, fonts, etc.  This is your first card that will mark your very first solo exhibition and you want it perfect! Remember, you are the artist/designer, thus your card should be visually stunning!



< To the left is an excellent example of a visual FLOP!



Consider the back of the card in color - it's more eye catching and rememberable.  
You need to pay particular attention to the USPS measurements 
on the back for bar codes, etc.
