PosePrints - Create yourself online

evan-photo-character.jpg

This is me, . . . weeell, on a really good hair day, with make-up and clothes (instead of the PJs I usually write in.) PosePrints made this up for me, to demonstrate their unique, personalized stationary.

Usually, I scoff at look-alike characters, avatars and such, but I have to admit these gals captured something of the real me. Or else, I'm just flattered.

The mother-daughter team created an easy to use website where you can design yourself step-by-step. Just click on the "design " tab, and once you decide on a design you like, click "personalize this design with my pose" and you will be taken to the sketch page. Here, use the arrows to scan all of the available facial variables and accessories, and customize your person by clicking on specific features. When you are happy with your "pose," click "Save Model" and you will then be prompted to "Personalize Message" (if they are invites, thank you cards, or snappy notecards, like mine).

To customize even more, such as "I want a different hair-do, my Baby Phat pants suit for clothes, and a unique background design," then they charge an up-front $50 for Jen's customized artwork, plus the cost of cards and shipping. For me, they used a photo (which they took from my Facebook page) for more likeness.

For weddings, dinner parties, or baby showers, etc, you could do a cute silhouette card, like this:

$50.00 for 25 cards. A deal for such a unique gift.
