OUGD504 / STUDIO BRIEF 01 / FINAL PRODUCT

In order to be able to have the full 8 page leaflet, I would have to print on a large size stock to fit all of the content on. I decided to print on A2:

When I mocked up my leaflet on A3, I had positioned some pages upside down by mistake, so I needed to ensure that the pages would be facing the right way up for my final product.

I decided to print on matte paper so the black underside looked professional and slick and I felt matte would be the best finish to display the textures on my leaflet as well. 

After printing I cut the leaflet down however since I'm useless at cutting paper apparently, I cut too much off the front part:

The leaflet fortunately still stands up fine even though the front cover is shorter than the rest of the pages. This is only visible when you fold the leaflet up shut.

Here you can see the size of my leaflet while it is standing. If I had time to do this brief again I would consider using less pages to make sure that my leaflet is a little bit bigger. You can read the text on it relatively comfortably however I do feel like it could be deemed as bordering on too small. The plus side is that the leaflet is very portable and pocketsize.

Since I used solid ink on the back, the stock is pretty saturated with it, and seems to dip inwards where the ink has weighed it down which is a small problem as I was hoping for the structure to stand strong. The overall look of the leaflet standing is not bad though and ultimately I am pleased with what I produced for this week long brief.

I feel I have appropriately resolved the brief and it's been fun to print and produce.
