FINAL DESIGN BOARDS

Here are the final design boards. I've changed the quiet a lot from the ones I made for the final crit.

The type is now 'normal' size and the images are less crammed.

On the last board....I think thats my least favorite one but i don't really know what else to do

As I need to show the pad printing that I want to do and I tried putting texts on actual photographs that I took of the studio but it was just too messy and quite distracting. So, I decided to go with the vector images, which I quite like. but now I feel like that the last board doesn't really go that well with the rest of the design boards.


I've also taken out really descriptive writing and did what Lorenzo said.

The pictures should say it all and only put things that the audience can't figure out form looking at the pictures down

So, I've explained the print process of each of the printed design rather than their function as the pictures are quite self explanatory anyway.

Screen prints photographed

Screen prints onto handmade paper.

I think these actually turned out okay. The type is a little bit scratchy but I think it does add an authenticity value to the print as the paper is obviously handmade/handcrafted.

The print process was quite tricky. The paper is really textured and quite bumpy. SO, even on the vacuum bed, the paper wasn't really flat on the bed. I had to print onto it over 20 times to get the type to actually print onto the paper.

It looks alright on the bold type and but the smaller type underneath and the logo got quite smudged after a while. But i had to keep doing it otherwise the type would barely be visible.

But overall, I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

I do wish the paper was a little bit flatter though. You can really tell that they're not flat from the photographs of them on the wall.

Art work with crop marks

And the booklet has been fixed in this one.

I printed the booklet off and one of the pages ( front page) was turned the wrong way round. So hopefully I will be able to print it off again tomorrow!

Vectorize this!

Poster Design for screen print

These are the final designs for my screen print.

they're all about A2 sized but not EXACT

poster design

Final crit feedback

On the design boards:

Board one-

1 big image of packaging and says it all!
smaller shots to show the details ( eg. tear here)

that's all needed

explain print process but not long sentence describing things


Board two- packaging in context? and pencil holder


Board three-booklet

Board four- one BIG image of poster incontext...and the little ones dowe the bottom to show range?

Board five- pad printing...better pics of studio stuff..DON't be so safe.
something more creative
too predictable at the moment



In general

type- way too big ( 12/14 max)

1 image that explains everything

so, more bigger images....less book-like

too much explanation....only need to put specifications and things that people couldn't figure out by looking at the pictures. less explanation more description

think A2 -twice the size....think TYPE

don't be afraid to have white space



make a hitlist

eg,

heirachy- how do u want the audience to follow, where to look first etc.
toye
image
white space
text-descriptive?
print process
relationship of posters
color of images/tone
