LCAD Christmas Card Ammendments

Today, as I have been ill  I have been emailing the marketing team from to design the inner Christmas card design. This has been rather frustrating as I wanted to talk through it with them face to face but I guess this is a taster of what occurs in the real design world.

As asked by the marketing team, I have designed the inner card insert for the Leeds College of Art Christmas card

Meeting with marketing

Despite me having pointed out that the college would need to order the reindeer poo paper asap due to low stock as the seasonal period is coming to an end, it turns out that the manufacturers have in fact ran out! The marketing team spoke to the company and it turns out that another marketing and graphic design company purchased the remaining paper to produce their own Christmas cards too. It was also discovered that the lady who owns the company actually visits safari parks to collect the elephant, reindeer and rhino poo herself.

Anyway, this loses the concept my design without the poo paper insert. Nevertheless, Rose was prepared to propose that we still used the lasercut design and plain paper to the dean. However, the dean wasn't keen on this idea, so the college have now, unfortunately, going to use a different design.

In order to keep me involved, they are going to sew a paper insert into the chosen card design and have asked me to design the type on this insert.

Photographing Products

Francesca and I took out lights and set up our own photography studio today to take pictures of the products I have produced for each of my briefs in order for these to then be put onto my design boards.
