Design Production for Print//Crit Preparation.



My printed and design progress work ready for the morning's progress tutorial. Although it was still good to get some work produced for this crit, I wasn't too pleased with what I had to show in the crit- all test samples, and very basic design pieces that I really wanted to spend more time developing (and printing to scale would have helped too...).
Quite pleased with the colour scheme (the "Wes Anderson palette") and some of the stocks used to print were very effective- others not quite so (watercolour paper, for example- not a crisp enough print, too textured). This also gave me a good opportunity to evaluate the scales and positioning of design on nets etc- for example, on the mailshot box the quote looks wrong beneath the design and the back cover address design needs to be moved down to not bleed off the surface, etc. Pleased with the ticket range, and the perforation works well- simple yet effective finish.
Also like the trace pattern outcome, but the pattern needs to be more exciting and a little less "cloudy"- a light weight acetate would be far more effective and crisp.
[PLEASE EXCUSE the terrible winter morning lighting...]
