Throughout the project i've had in the back of my mind how to store the stickers, firstly thinking of a simple box or something, but for stickers that seems a bit too much, bit bulky like! So what about something flat?
Certain existing packages out in the real world could be useful however,
Firstly, Vinyl Record covers, slim, easy to make/print, just a matter of designing a lovely pattern or what not, chance to screenprint perhaps, something i have yet to take advantage of!
The only disadvantage of this format of package being that part of it is always open, not ideal for stickers as they are very light and could easily fall out.
I have also thought about a simple envelope design, similar to the ones created by Don't Panic for their student orientated packs! Again this being a net plan design, open to screenprint and what not.
From thought such as this i want to create a form of envelope but something a bit more hand crafted and personal and maybe something a tad different to the norm? stand out from the crowd and all that!
After experimentation with paper, card and design sheets etc! i finally decided on a net plan and a design, which i would both screenprint and also computer print,
(technical difficulties! there will be pics of,
A) the design for the screen print!
B) the design with the net plan on it!)
The screenprint took a few days, as it was my first time doing a screenprint i was quite apprehensive about the whole thing, even more so after failing my print elective twice im not the guys down there bestest pal, i received some help but i guessed a fair bit, so it took longer than it really should have!
Never the less i triumphed! hazar! i did a few test prints on white and then moved onto the coloured paper i had previously purchased!
I then took the prints, outlined the net plan thing! and followed to cut and fold it all up!
Overall i feel the prints were pretty successful, i cant quite choose a favorite colour between them but in an odd way they kind of work well as a group, i think anyway. I think it must be the boldness of the type keeps the colours from mixin not an issue like, if that makes sense.
There was a slight hiccup with the prints, this was that cus iv never done it before i made another school boy error of not having everything as black, the text that goes around the rest of the package is in Helvetica neue had an opacity setting of 80% oh no!
so basically it came out very fine indeed and didnt print that boldly, however it kind of suits the package, leaving full attention to the front bold title! but i would liked to have done it again to compare the difference!
