board layout designs: 

i was experimenting with different layouts to try and tell the story of what design thought procss i was going through. the way i am going to photograph the products will be influencial also which angles and close ups to show the stock/range etc.

Didnt want alot of type on the boards just mainly close ups of photos.

Finals crits: for boards and other design work.

Feedback from my products i was really impressed with what i produced in the end i have noted a few check list things which will have to be corrected on my boards. i will come to these on the final board stage.

I have learnt that all images should be sized correctly and rotated in photoshop before moving into in-design. JPEGS are ok to use yet psd/tiff files are better. here in this box i was checking for yellow warning boxes to see if i need to update my links and checking all the images are in CMYK mode and actual PPI of the image all these are vital for printing process! could be a expensive mistake!

Pre-flight check showing no errors within the document :-) RESULT!!

Testing out different styles trying to make my products stand out within the busy cafe.

My boards what a NIGHTMARE! no matter how long i tried to sort these i found it really difficult 

yet with the skills i had learnt from our in design workshop helped me to resolve these issues. i had took snap shots of the issues which occured such as missing links to fonts-packaging the file stops this issue and it is good practice to keep all the files used in the document in one folder. i was also struggling to put y products into context i designed this till and desk in illustrator yet decided to use an original photograph and photoshop my products onto the image.

Experimenting with layouts and grids for each board. layout appears easy yet i have found out that it deffiantly not! grids and lots of other detail elements exist within the designing yet it must be said after over 14hours sat at the computer i enjoyed myself!....
