McPaw Card Designer

There’s quite the variety of tasks you can accomplish with the help of a computer, and design covers an impressive amount. This can even mean creating greeting cards for your company and events. What’s more, things go really well when relying on specialized applications like McPaw Card Designer.

For starters, you don’t even have to go through a setup process to make it work, so you can see what it’s all about from the moment download is done. This also means you can take it with you anywhere you go on a thumb drive. You just need to be sure that .NET Framework is installed on the target computer.

The visual design might not really strike you as appealing, but it’s pretty much enough to get the job done. Most of the space is the interactive canvas, while a side panel holds the properties you need in order to define and configure objects, and other things you use in your projects.

You get to create cards of all kinds, but you need to fit your creation in two pages, which eventually fold after printing it out. Various objects can be inserted, such as pictures, shapes, text, as well as screenshots you take of a selective screen region thanks to a built-in tool.

Interaction with objects is pretty intuitive, since you can move them around through a drag operation, and change shapes, or other parameters in the properties panel. Transparency can be applied to custom objects, and text is fully customizable. Projects can be saved for later use, but there’s no particular format to save to. On the other hand, projects can be directly printed out.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that McPaw Card Designer might not look like much, but looks are not really a top priority here. It comes with a decent variety of features through which to add pictures, objects, and text, as well as customizing them with a whole variety of parameters.
