A Printing Option



If everyone likes the idea of the most recently posted option (where different points of intersection are labelled), but we prefer the simplicity of just the circle, then there may be a successful compromise. We could print the lines and the labels in a spot UV varnish. What this is is a kind of colourless ink that is only visible depending on how light falls on the postcard. Here are two images to show you kinds how it works.

So Jonathan,

Here are my much delayed comments!

I really like the idea of having one aphorism at the back of each postcard rather than a list of all of them, but I think that the logo at the front of the postcard (the one with the labelled points of intersection) is way too detailed and contains too much information. I think it'd be better if the postcard left more to the imagination, so I'd opt for option 8 for the front of the postcard. Also, we could apply that printing technique you mentioned (spot UV varnish?) to the individual aphorisms at the back of each postcard instead of using it for the front of the postcard. The idea being to raise people's curiosity by creating an air of mystery and 'revelation'.
