Final Precious Business Cards

The pink stock arrived so I could start printing and putting together the Precious 
Business cards as they needed them for an event on Monday.
I got the backs printed straight onto mount board in digital print.
I printed the logo onto the pink stock then gold foiled it, the foil didn't
come out exactly as planned but I still gave a good effect.

These are the final put together cards, I am pleased with how they have turned out,
I think for the future I will print the backs onto slightly thinner stock and also 
emboss as well as foil the logo but as the needed them by Monday I left out
the embossing for time reasons.

Crit Feedback

I got quite a lot of helpful feedback from the crit. all of it being on little
bits of paper was not that helpful because now I don't know what bits
of feedback go with what bits of work.

From the crit I have decided to go for the Precious logo without the diamond
as that is the one I was leaning towards and the people who crited my work 
seemed to agree.
I also got a lot of feedback on the inpress posters, Sadie didn't get too much 
so it was useful that I did. We got a lot about the hierarchy of the type
and also got asked why we had done certain things which is something I agreed with, 
everything we do needs to always have a reason behind it.

Concept Boards For Crit

These are my concept boards for the Crit, just informing the people
who are criting my work about the product, range and distribution
and what has been done and still needs to be done for each brief.

I have also written up some questions which will direct people
on what feedback I want from the crit. Hopefully this will 
provide me with helpful feedback.

Stationary Products

These are some of the stationary products from my range, I am going to 
take them to my crit and see what the feedback is on them.
I tried the transfer paper and it wasn't that successful, so these are 
all products that could be made up in a different way.
I am going to have to think about another method to print onto 
the rulers and pencils.
I am going to leave this brief now and come back to it in a few weeks to design the 
packaging.

Business Card Mock Ups

I have the three different logo ideas for Precious and am still unsure
which one to go with so I decided to mock up each of them to see
how legible each one was at business card size and see how much 
of the detail will get lost.
I am going to take them to the crit and ask people which they 
prefer, the pink stock should arrive tomorrow too so after my crit
I can get on making the final cards.

To do before crit

This is my list of stuff I need to get done for my crit tomorrow
so I can get the feedback that I want.
Lots to get done!

Precious Logo Development

I have taken the Precious logos I was drawing yesterday and put them
on the computer. I have asked the members of Precious for some feedback.
Some like the original logo, some with the gems. Some feedback I got was
to put the gems on an angle like the type, I have also played around with size.
An issue that may arrise from using the gems on the logo is that when they are scaled
down to business card size they may loose their detail.
I am going to hav a go printing and foiling the different designs and see 
how they turn out.
