Start summer off by sending your invitations!

Invitation anglais Already started planning your summer gatherings?  The great weather this time of year calls for parties and festivities … family reunions, barbeques, birthdays, professional events and more!
Furthermore, during this season business often slows down.  Take advantage of this time to reach out to your professional contacts to invite them to join you for a more friendly gathering.
Of course, the key to the success of any event is to send invitations in advance.  Ooprint can help you send the perfect invitation, with our festive collection which can be personalized with your name, address, photo or logo.

Correspondence cards: accentuate your communication!

correspondence cards No matter the size of your company, it is important to have personalized stationery.  Larger companies may have established graphic guidelines; smaller companies may simply have a logo or only their address to feature.  Whatever the case, a stationery line in the image of your company is essential.

 

While a business card is useful when establishing an initial contact, further business relations require correspondence and the necessary accompanying cards. 

A personal greeting addressed to your contact on personalized correspondence cards show great professionalism and elegance.

 

On ooprint.com, you may choose from a variety of styles of correspondence cards, all of which can of course be personalized.

 

See our collection here, and coordinate your business cards, letterhead, and correspondence cards for a polished professional image. 

Spotlight on the finalists!

In our spotlight on the finalists series we have already introduced Noura, the grand prize winner of the 2010 Holiday Card Design Competition. We’re now pleased to present Tania Duffault, the winner of the Jury Prize, awarded based on artistic merit.


Photo Tania DuffaultOriginally from the Ukraine, Tania studied art at the Fine Arts and Architecture Academy of Kiev.  She is now a graphic designer, which is not only a profession but also her passion.  Her principal medium is painting; she is currently preparing an exhibit.  She is also exploring advertising.

Tania admits being very pleased and surprised at winning a prize in the 2010 Design Competition.  “I was very happy, of course!” she told us.


For this competition, Tania was determined to find an original expression, a different language.  To accomplish this feat, she explored a new avenue: cut paper which was then photographed to produce a final product complete with rich with shadows and color nuances, despite the white paper.


Carte Tania duffault

The theme of the card was inspired by her Ukrainian background.  For Tania, the New Year is synonymous with winter, and snow.  Her idea was to combine the sensation of the holidays with snow, the tree, decorative balls, and gifts.

Congratulations again to all our finalists!




Ooprint introduces you the first prize's winner!

Ooprint wants to congratulate again the winners of the 2010 design cards competition!

We are very happy to introduce you Noura Aït Issa as the first prize’s winner.

Noura told us how she felt about winning the prize and how she created her card.

Photo NOURA 1 Noura, 35 years old, lives in Casablanca, Morocco, and works as a graphic designer. First, design was a hobby for her and then, she decided to work as a full-time designer .

When she sent her card, she thought she had a good chance to win the competition… and she was right actually!

When she heard about the competition results, she said she was “very touched and very, very happy about the news.”

 

To win this competition, she had in mind to do something special with “2010”, like emphasizing the date and create the all design of her card from it. 

Noura AIT ISSA
For the New Year, she thought about a contrast with a “2010” very colorful and a black background.

As she explained, the background symbolizes the past year and the flashy colors symbolize hope and pride for the new year.

 

Find out about her design works on her blog.

 

And the winner is…!

The 3rd annual ooprint holiday card design competition has ended. We know that you are on the edge of your seats to hear who were announced the winners!


But first, we want to thank all the designers for their participation.  Your designs were very well received by the ooprint team and our customers. 

When the ooprint team sat down to decide on the jury prize winner, we were extremely impressed by the creativity and originality of the work.
