Final Pack

Final Poster

Poster dev

For the poster i wanted to keep the same style to that of the cards. I ended up using the mountain image from one of the postcards as i felt it was one of the strongest and i didn't want a poster which combined all the postcards.

Final Packaging

I feel the Packaging has come out OK but i think it could have been printed on to slightly thicker stock. I feel the overall design works well.

Further packaging Dev

I went with the button tie idea. But unfortunately you can't buy them so i had to make it from pin and some string. I feel it will work well with the idea i have for the front of the pack. As i was hoping to print on a similar material to an envelope i cut up a manila envelope as it had the quality i wanted the stock for the envelope package to be.

Packaging Dev

For the packaging i wanted to go with the delivery idea and thought that an envelope would be a suitable piece of packaging for it. I want it to fold out and reveal a poster and the set of cards. I preferably want the same material as an envelope. However i wanted it to be resealable and was unsure of how to go about it. I didn't really want a sticker because i felt work that well when resealing and gluing the inside of the flap wouldn't let me seal it again.

98, 95, 93 adjustment

In the crit it was suggested that these three postcards didn't quite work with the others as part of a set. So i went back and edited them so they fit better with the rest. I feel that they aren't the strongest designs of the set but think the revised designs work better.

1997

For this i first tried to create the comet smudging and blurring a circle shape but it didn't fit with the rest of the image so i created my own shape. For this i managed to incorporate some of my own textures into the sky. I wanted to keep the old style look on this postcard and was trying to look at various ways of giving the effect.

Current Postcards

I Like how these are looking so far. But not sure about 1993 and 1995 as they don't quite sit right with the other postcards and i might go back and alter them.

Y2k Postcard

When developing this i had problems as the ideas which i had didn't really work digitally and many of the other ideas that i had didn't seem to work too well either so i went back and did some ideas and feel that its more of the outcome i wanted.

Russian Postcard

For this postcard i wanted the style of russian constructivism and feel that this comes across however i had problems trying to create a background for the image and felt that the empty space needed to be filled

Sheep Postcard

Through my ideas I've realized that each postcard is going to have to be significantly different from the other so that it can best communicate the idea. I like this idea but it doesn't really work along side the other postcards.

Mountain Postcard

After going through various ways it could look i settled on a black and white one as the others didn't quite work. I added colour and felt it improved it alot more

Train Postcard

I looked at creating a simplified image of a train but ended up creating a collage of images and textures and felt that the image was too complicated and i felt i needed to go back and simplify it. So i decided to remove aspects of the image that weren't needed.

Postcard Dev

For this brief i wanted to use more mixed media and try to put more of my own textures into my work. First i looked at creating my own paint textures and brushes for photoshop. after i looked at photographing textures that i could use.
