Brief 3:: Vogue magazine ad

I have been looking at the Vogue magazine ads to see how designers normally advertise their collections. It seems to be that these high end designers use full bleed images to make a high impact and then position the brand logo onto the page too.

Brief 3:: Exhibition Space

Liv showed me her exhibition space so I know what space I have to work with. We are going to fix the lettering the afternoon or tomorrow.

Brief 3:: Swing Ticket

I have been with Liv this morning trying to eyelets in the swing tickets. After much trial and error, we have found that hole punching the swing ticket and then fixing the eyelet in was an easy way to ensure the paper didn't crease and that the hole was in the same place each time.

Liv bought some ribbon to put through and then safety pin onto the garments. After talking to my peers, I feel the ribbon has too much of a satin shine to it. Therefore, I am going have a look for some white twined string.

We also want white eyelets, so I have been looking for them on the internet. They seem hard to come by so I am going to spray paint a couple of the silver ones to see how that works.

Design Context:: Embossing plate

This morning I have made an embossing plate to deboss my fifth postcard. It will be ready to pick up tomorrow so I will go and deboss my postcard tomorrow.

Design Context:: 4 so far

So far I have 4 postcards, each showcasing a quote from either a printer, paper supplier or designer.

I think the muted colour scheme works well with one another so I am going to produce the other two with white and a cool grey stock.

Design Context:: Foiling

I have foiled a typographical quote from Box-Head...

unfortunately it did not come out quite as smooth as I would have liked, so of the letters foiled really well but others didn't due to the toner in the printer. As we are not allowed to use our own stock in the printers with the better toner and time does not allow me to make a screen and foil this properly, I am going to have to just use the best of a bad bunch. At least it gets my idea across. 

Design Context: Laser Cutting

I have laser cut a quote from Team Printers. I cut the design on a darker stock to ensure that I didn't get burn marks on the page. I have then layered a piece of grey card behind this to produce a colour in the holes.

I also tried cutting a pattern and layering this behind, but it just looked far too much and took away from the type itself.
