Production of business cards

Set of deliverables

Pretty much all deliverables made up, just the business cards to go.

Mædate binding

Saddle stitched the mædate books, however didn't do them as well as I would have hoped and am really dissapointed. They look ok and I am glad I have printed and bound them myself, however it would have looked more professional if I had of outsourced the print and binding process. Also, the print has smudged, even though I left them for a few days to dry, the black is just too thick on the paper and so has smudged when binding.

www.maedate.co.uk

Well, I asked my friend help me to get maedate.co.uk live and he suggested that instead of using wordpress I use Flavours. However this costs money and I doubt Sally will want to pay more as she has only just bought hosting. I think I should have looked into this in more detail earlier in the project but it has all worked out ok. Joe has been a star and coded everything for me. I sent him screenshots of Photoshop images I had created of what I wanted on each page and he made it happen!

Here is what Joe sent back to me...!

And then I made the website live...!

Client deliverables!

Gave Sally all printed deliverables today! Woohoo!

Production

This shows the process of making some of the deliverables for my client...

Progress surgery

My progress surgery with Fred today was brilliant. I was anxious that no tutor has really seen my briefs but I am confident on my progress of them.

Brief #1
Carry on

Brief #2
Only make 1 book for submission and design packaging and extend it as a limited edition book.

Brief #3
Redesign slightly for my submission and extend to include the shop front and instore. Quick but effective.

Brief #4
Mini done

Brief #5
Think about delivery more. Good idea with Morris Minor but maybe look at targeting the audience in a more effective way - graduate shows.

Brief #6
Get on

Brief #7
Mini done

Brief #8

Develop slightly to submit as a mini brief.

Brief #9

Do more on this, but make sure I get what I want out of it too. International collaboration great. 

Theme

I think I would really like a carosel and this way it can show more products on the first page and even transition between ranges if Sally has more in future.

These are the themes which could be adapted to suite my preference...

Wordpress

I am going to use Wordpress to built Sallys site. Jimmy from UHC said he uses Wordpress for small clients and so I think this is ideal. I borrowed someones existing login to check out the running of a Wordpress site. This will be good as you can see statistics as I can on idexhibit which I have found really useful to see traffic and how people are finding my site. This way Sally can also update her own content.
