Earth Day Posters (from last year)

Revisiting Stationery Sets (and more information)

 You'll have time to revisit all your stationery pieces over the break. Make sure the work that you print out for comps is an exact match for your printed/boarded version. All should be at 100% (no scaling for any of the stationery pieces.) All should be printed on 12x18 boarded.


Thus far this semester you've been asked to complete 4 projects:
1. Initial images on your individual blogs.
2. MLK Day Commemorative Posters
3. Client logos and comps
4. Stationery Sets: Business Card, Letterhead and Envelope

What is up next is:
5. Three Print Advertisements
6.  Collateral (Mailers)
7.  Earth Day Poster Designs
8.  Specialty Pieces for Client

The final outcome should have all work above printed, mounted, and put on your blogs.
No exceptions as you are archiving your work for the future.

Please pay attention to craft issues as you prepare for the portfolio review if you are choosing to apply to the design program.

Please make sure that if your logo for your client has changed in any way since the original critique that you reprint that logo to match all other corresponding work.

Make sure the final portfolio of work at the end of this semester is all boarded/printed on the same kind of paper stock. In other words don' t mix gloss with luster and matte. Try and be consistent.

Neenah Paper has stationery templates for you to use for Free

 Take a look and see if any of these work for you as you continue to design.

What's Due at Stationery Critique on Monday March 9th

What you need to present at the Stationery Critique on Monday March 9th:
 
1. 12x18 digital printout  (no smaller, no larger)
(this print does not have to be mounted but if you wish to do so then go ahead.)

2. Comps on the kind of paper stock you wish for them to be printed on. It shouldn't be just inkjet paper.
 
You should have working mockup/comps of your business card, Letterhead, and Envelope as it would appear in realistically.

Remember craftsmanship is important.

STATIONERY PIN UP ON MONDAY MARCH 2ND

Don't forget that we are having a pin up on Monday March 2nd in class.

You should have mock ups of your letterhead, business card and envelope.
Front and Back if you have any design on either side.

Remember this:

A Business Card has it's own hierarchy regarding text and information.
I made a quick example below. The information/text can go wherever you wish it to go
but make sure it's all there in some form.  Again. You are designing information
so make sure it's legible and creative.   have fun with this.
