Johnny Gruesome


Project Type: Promotional Trading Cards

“When I decided to do a limited edition run of trading cards to promote my latest horror novel, I went to Creative Instinct. They helped me overcome formatting and design issues so my cards were functional as promotional tools as well as cool for collectors. They completely understood the thrust of the project with a minimum of input from me, and designed a background that perfectly suited my artwork. I’d use them again in a heartbeat.”

Mitch Crawford Gallery


Project Type: Artist Promotional Trading Cards

"As an artist, I am always cautious about having print work done via the internet. I considered several on-line companies to create my promotional trading cards, but it quickly became very clear that Creative Instinct offered not only outstanding design and craftsmanship, but also the best customer service, hands-down. There was never any issue about whether my order was to be large or small and I was consulted regularly in order to give input and suggestions. In addition to great service, Creative Instinct also came through with very reasonable pricing. The final product is visually dynamic and very professional in appearance. When I need cards for any other purpose, I will give Gavin and Creative Instinct the job without a second thought. Look no further than Creative Instinct!"
