Comments on: Just For Me! http://mslk.com/reactions/just-for-me/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=just-for-me reactions from a design firm in queens Tue, 15 May 2012 18:34:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: sheri http://mslk.com/reactions/just-for-me/comment-page-1/#comment-301 sheri Wed, 30 Jan 2008 00:48:30 +0000 http://mslk.com/reactions/?p=679#comment-301 Marc, I completely disagree with your feelings that this technology leaves recipients feeling hallow. I think if done correctly, which I agree this isn't, the results can be quite effective. I think the reason you were left feeling hallow is because the front of the card had absolutely nothing to do with the back. Let's imagine, what if the front of the card was a photo of the house for sale with a "sold" sign out front and it said, "Congratulations, 'Marc' on the purchase of your first home." I bet that would grab a potential home owners attention. Or...what if the back of the card was an invitation from Starbucks to come in from the cold for a nice cup of hot chocolate? This card is just a classic case of great technology used incorrectly by poor designers. Marc, I completely disagree with your feelings that this technology leaves recipients feeling hallow.
