I had over 100 responses, and every design was voted in both first and last place at least once, which makes it a little difficult to interpret the results&#8230; The clear winner, with over 40% first place votes, is the Discworld. After that, the results are a bit ambiguous. But what was even more useful than the numbers is the comments that over half of you included to tell me <strong>why<\/strong> you voted the way you did!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/card_design1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>For instance, you (mostly) love the Discworld. But it also got a fair few last place votes, with reasons like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Not a PlanetJune original concept<\/li>\n<li>Most people won\u2019t understand the Pratchett reference<\/li>\n<li>Background too dark<\/li>\n<li>Perceived complexity may put people off<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And for the monkeys, the pros include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Natural setting<\/li>\n<li>Realistic<\/li>\n<li>Eye-catching vertical format<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And the cons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Too busy for a small card<\/li>\n<li>Background too distracting<\/li>\n<li>Text doesn\u2019t stand out<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See how useful these comments are? I can see that the Guinea Pigs card is probably a better design than the Monkeys, as it shares most of the pros of the Monkeys comments, but avoids the cons. Your comments will also be really useful when I&#8217;m trying to take future product photos, to give me ideas of pitfalls to avoid falling into.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/card_design2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The reason I wanted to make 3 different cards is so that there&#8217;d be something for everyone. But, when I came to order the cards, I discovered that the prices were more than I was expecting &#8211; e.g. an extra $11.50 per design just to print the text on the back&#8230; Given that, and the survey responses, I&#8217;ve decided to just get the <strong>Discworld<\/strong> and <strong>Guinea Pigs<\/strong> cards printed. It&#8217;ll be interesting to see which is the most popular at the show! 58% of you chose one of these two designs as their first choice, and 88% chose one of them as either their first or second choice, so I&#8217;m hoping that almost everyone will like at least one of them!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/card_back.jpg\" style=\"border:1px\"><br \/>\n<em>Here&#8217;s the back of the cards<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Now for the draw. 82% of the respondents opted into the draw, and the winner is: Johanna Jennings! Congratulations, Johanna! (I will contact you directly to ask for your mailing address, and I&#8217;ll throw in some bonus postcards as you&#8217;re only getting 2 cards in your prize instead of the promised 3).<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again to all who entered.
