I agree the limitations on the number of characters we are allowed to use on the inside of the card could use drastic increasing. There isn't enough character allowance to say a lot. Even if a customer wanted to use their own verbiage, the number of characters are very limited. When I was filling out the inside of one of the GCU Cards, I viewed it as the user/customer and not as the artist. I found this to be a big limit. I couldn't express myself to my friends and family the way I wanted. So I do agree about increasing the number of characters greatly.
The only thing I could think of a problem with allowing a .jpg text on the inside instead of increasing the text/character capability would be, that if the customer didn't like what you had to say on the card and wanted to change it, or have it blank all together, that they would not be able to delete it because it was a .jpg text as opposed to the text that is changeable.
If the issue is increasing the text/character limit and allowing more font choices, maybe that could be more of a possibility (at least easier programming wise than adding a .jpg text capability). But, I'm not GCU. Maybe they have magical programmers that could fix it to allow a .jpg text capability, that could still be deleted by the customer in case they wanted a blank card or they want to write something else entirely.
Those are just my troubleshooting talking outloud thoughts to help see the entire picture.
But, I do agree if there is a way to increase the text and font limitations in ALL 3 texts areas inside the card, that would be a great & necessary improvement.
That's my soapbox for today.
Have a Great Christmas to All and to All, a Good Night!
