Design a Rockford postcard

September 26th, 2008 at 03:13pm Jennie Pollock

For the Sunday front page centerpiece of “180 Degrees: Solutions for a Better Rockford,” our graphic artist Billy Kulpa created a “Welcome to Rockford” postcard to reflect the growing number of cultural attractions. He chose a retro type feel with modern-day pictures.

Back in the day when I actually sent postcards (maybe 10 years ago), I remember buying Rockford postcards at Magna and other drugstores.

Now it’s your turn: Create a Rockford postcard, and I’ll post it (as long as it’s tasteful, people!). Send to jpollock@rrstar.com in jpeg format with your name, city of residence, daytime phone number for verification and maybe a sentence or two about your design. Note: Submissions may be published or distributed in print, electronic or other forms.
