Style 7, the Postcard. Round 5: the formats, tighter
Dave on Round 4 (2026-09-13): the band under the photograph carried twice the air it needed; the story's back left a void under the sign-off; the portrait's peek looked odd in its white frame with the town under it. So: the band fits its content, with the air above the label matching the air below the line. The front is taller and shows more of the house, the back is shorter and its message a size larger, so the message fills it. The peek runs edge to edge with no caption. And a standing rule went into the jobs file: a card must fill its space, so every style carries a floor on message length; below it the engine takes the next variant and never pads.
The approved set on the taller boards. A postcard is a landscape object, so it changes shape rather than stretching. Portrait keeps the back at the top with larger type and lets the front peek in below it: the photograph with its caption in the white border. Story shows both sides: the front on top, the photograph and the line on its band, and the back under it carrying the rest of the message, the postmark, the two stamps and your address. The front card from the square set is the story's top half, so it does not repeat here.
What to look at. Whether the two sides read as one card in story, and whether the peek below the portrait earns its place. Pass or note each by name and format.
