Hi, Jim.

I just got an invitation to work on your project this morning. But I can't get the logo file to come up.

Hi there - not sure how to get it to you. There isn't a way through the DesignCrowd email system to attach files. I've found their help support to be quite good. Perhaps they can get it directly to you. Looking forward to seeing some designs from you. Best, Jim

it's generally not advised to make contact outside of the DC site. but in this case, i think it's reasonable...
emil it: nichols_house@yahoo.com

I can't do that under the terms of the contract I have with DC.

well. then i don't know what to tell ya. i can't work on a card if the logo is a dead link.
guess i'll just disregard the invite.

What you should be telling me is that you'll contact DC and ask them to remedy the problem. As to the invite - that's your prerogative - feel free to do as you like.

i forwarded the request to my mobile, which revealed the problem. i now have it downloaded.

questions:
1. do you have printing budget for things like die-cuts, embossing / debossing, metallic inks, alternative printing materials, etc...?
2. you don't list physical address in your brief. was that an oversight? or do you indeed not want to display a physical address?

first pass submitted.

have two designs posted. both are rather non-standard. one has die-cuts, the other requires printing on a translucent/transparent plastic substrate (BOTH of which i have a printing resource for - if you do not)

would love to hear back from you.
