FROM FINAL CRIT:

From the crit, I have got a few things to think about.. 


- colour of card = the reason I chose to use a dark stock was to reinforce the feeling of christmas actually being depressing.. however for my wrapping paper, I have used some bright colours.. this needs to be thought about.. 


I am going to look at what other papers are available in town.. as I'm not keen on any in the library..


- The layout of text.. In some cases, the type doesn't work and there is a large white space which makes the card look a bit off..


- The embossing.. Works better on the thicker stock.. however, someone said that they preferred the lighter cards.. other idea = to have the embossed word in a light colour.. maybe do both?
I am also thinking of doing small embossing on the envelop for the 'bah humbug' brand.. think it would look nicer if it was more subtle.


- Propose cards for another 'fake' holiday, maybe valentines day.


One main weakness was my boards.. I didn't put much time into them, so I agree.. however, for the final boards, I will be making sure I have enough time to put the right information on them to communicate my idea.. think about hierarchy, pt size, layout of images..
Also for final boards... think about how to photograph product effectively.. for example.. wrapping up a gift in my wrapping paper..


- Need to show my website ideas on blog too.. how it will look in context.
