DC - Brief 0 - Finalised Publication

Finally got the publication bound, covered, embossed and screen printed. Super proud of it. 

I have strayed away from the hand crafted element i originally wanted of the front cover, and instead gone for a simple emboss of a packaging net. I think it communicates the publication much better and gives in a professional feel, rather than something put together quickly.

I the publication communicates me as a designer, firstly my interest in food and drink packaging, alongside research and organisation - through the categorising of the content. It also communicates my love of print and finishing, using book binding, printing and embossing skills thoughout.

DC - Making publication

So i decided to try and keep the publication simpler, rather than using a folded net on the front. I am going to wrap grey board in buckrum, emboss a net shape onto the front, to then screen print the title onto. I have so far bound the publication, created the back and front and screen printed:

I am currently unsure of how Im going to bind everything together but i'm sure i'll figure something out...

FMP - Brief 4 - Sample packs mock up

Initially i thought it would be a great idea to provide samples of be-ro products within the sample pack, so made tiny packets to hold it. Common sense hit me, realising no one could make anything substantial out of such a small sample. The size couldn't really be avoidable due to the nature of the pack (A4 and flat) so I decided to discard this idea.

FMP - Brief 1 - Sure start publication

I am proposing Surestart supply this pack to deprived families. I have produced a publication which gives more information about the pack, and its usefulness alongside statistics of the effects a deprived childhood can have on a child.

FMP - Brief 4 - Website

As part of the promotional material for Be-Ro I felt it appropriate to update their current website with details of the event.

DC - Brief 0 - Entire publication design 1

Finally got it finished. I'm really happy with the way I've approached the publication and the layout of the content. I feel I've made it personal to me and my interests, as well as keeping it informative.

I've basically identified a range of food packaging which I like for a range of reasons, and have managed to organise them into sections behind the reason for the design of the packaging.

DC - Brief 0 - First draft

Working with the layout I'd previously chosen, I've applied some of the content to the publication. Considering I don't work with layout much, I've realised having a set grid and allocating boxes and spaces for text and image has helped so much in keeping the layout consistent and considering.

DC - Brief 0 - Decided Layout

After producing a few layouts, I've picked ones I feel appropriate to the two sections I'll have within this publication.
