Q:  Do you design custom cards/announcements from photos that I have taken or only images from a Portrait Session?
A:  I design unique cards/announcements from photos I have captured or photos you have captured.  I can even use professional photos from other studios; as long as the photographer provides me with a written copyright release on their letterhead. 

Q:  How long does it take to receive the finished product?
A:  I know how excited you are to share your joy, so I will work with you to establish a timeline up-front that meets your needs.  Typically, once the design is approved, you will have your product in 2-3 days.

Q:  What type of paper do you print on?
A:  All designs are printed at a Professional Lab using Kodak Endura Paper (in Lustre (matte) or Glossy finish) -or- for something extra-special, images can be made into Press Printed cards (using real ink, not toner!).

Q:  On the internet there are so many sites that offer a similar service, how do I know which one to choose?  It is hard to compare what they offer.
A:  While it is wonderful that we live at a time that utilizes technology to create absolutely breathtaking ways to share our joy, I understand that it can be overwhelming!  Here are some tips to consider when selecting someone to work on your project:
   * Personalized cards are just that: Personal.  Personal references are a great way to find a credible designer.  Ask for references.
   * A lot of sites will boast that they work with a graphic designer, but you will not have access to work directly with the designer; it is more of a marketing tactic.  Make sure you get to work directly with the designer; like at Divine Digital Design.
  * Personalized, custom designs are special because they work with your individual images.  A site that boasts a large assortment of pre-designed images, isn't working with your photographs to produce something meaningful to you.  Your photographs could look completely different than the sample in a pre-designed layout.  This is close to your heart, work with someone who understands that.
  * Always make sure that you get to view an online proof prior to the printing of your cards/announcements.
  * Make sure you can customize the fonts.  Each name may look completely different in the same font.  So, just because a font looks good on the sample, doesn't mean it will be the best font style for your information.
  *  Online, designs may look similar, so you would be amazed at how different they can look and feel once printed.  Cards and Announcements are held and touched and high-quality photo paper is something that our senses interpret as part of that experience.  Make sure you are choosing a service that is printed on professional lab equipment and paper.  

Q:  What size should my photographs be?
A:  Preferably, your photos should be 1800x1200 pixels with a minimum of 300 dpi (dots per inch).  If you aren't sure what that means, don't worry - we will work with you to ensure we are using the highest quality photographs for your masterpiece.

Q:  Why should I choose Divine Digital Design?
A:  Divine Digital Design follows a completely different business model than most other companies in this industry.  Instead of creating a design, then letting clients add their photos to a pre-designed layout (with minimal revisions); we evaluate your portraits and then create a design that compliments your photos to create a truly unique, custom and personal card or announcement.  And the great thing is that all of this extra attention doesn't cost extra - shop around and you will find that our prices are the same or less than our competition.  Thank you for considering us for your special project!
