Finished!


Hey guys,

So my assessment has come to an end!...well I actually finished last wed but I just got back my result and I'm pretty pleased with it :)

Although these designs still need some work, I think I have come pretty far from the initial ideas I posted up ages ago.

Thanks to everyone who has followed, commented and giving me encouragement throughout this semester. It has been really fun reading your comments and hearing about your ideas.

If I can, I'm gonna try and work on this project more. I want to get it to the stage where I am 100% satisfied with it for my folio and hopefully be able to spam facebook once more and sell them (lucky you!)

I'll post individual photos of my cards soon once I get out of holiday mood :)

Happy holidays!!

Final product


tissues!

post it's

5 bulk pack of cards

all my products

Wow, I have enough greeting cards to last a lifetime O_O'

Pretty pleased with how much I did, although I must admit there are some things I need to work on. I think atm the materials is overshining the designs I've done, but it's all trial and error so it'll have to do for this moment. I must say gocco machines are hard work...underestimated it by a mile! Nevertheless I still love the stamp effect.

So anyone want to buy any?? lol, I have so many.

The ones I produced are:
IOU - girl
A better place- animal heaven
Party!?!?
Hope it's not bird flu
Get well soon
PWND
I like you - creepy boy
Miss you bro

I'd like to make more in the future :) It has been a fun journey...hopefully not the end of it!

Will post up hero shots of the cards soon. For now it's presentation/documentation time D:

Sneak peak


No Face Steph helping me out

Here's a sneak peak of my designs!

I had to change my designs a bit as I confronted many obstacles using a gocco machine. Considering neither I nor my uni mate Terry had used a gocco before, a lot of the time was spent on trial and error so the colours were either a hit or a miss.

Nevertheless I hope you guys still like it. I found another alternative to adding colour so will test that out soon.

Will update final products soon!

Digital Designs




So my project is almost coming to an end (4 days!) Here's all the images I designed on Illustrator.

I'm currently in the process of hand printing them. Unfortunately I could only make 8 designs as I ran out of time to make them all :(

Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions. They are still in my sketch book so hopefully I'll be able to produce more designs depending on how the success rate of this project goes!

Will show a sneak peak of my prints soon~

Testing


Testing 1, 2, 3.

Last stretch









So a few more days til my presentation and major project is due. Getting a bit worried about my presentation lol.

I've photoshopped my card designs into some photos I took but it feels like something is missing. Feels a bit...staged and empty? I think it needs a more human element in it D:

Might just use some of these for my presentation.

Pick up line 2


I was editing my images for print and I realised that my last design look too sweet. I think if a fat kid loves cake he'd look a bit more ... excited lol.

Maybe I'll do two designs; one for 'sweet nice guy' to confess and the other for the 'creepy don't touch me stalker'.
