Compliment Slips.

Finalising the project by printing out my stationary, complimentary slips and letter heads being part of the final process, coming together nicely now, the colours didn't come out great but that's what you get for using your own printer, stupidly i didn't book a print slot in time and couldn't get in to a drop in due to so many people waiting to print.




Business Cards.

Nearly there now, really hope my client actually takes this project and makes good use of it, that would make me over the moon, the business cards turned out okay, i should have used a thicker stock but that doesn't matter the quality still turned out alright and the i'm fairly happy with the imagery i used, just need to get everything together now to photograph and put my final boards together.

Business Cards. 5

Right i've made my mind up now, i decided to use a series of business cards as apposed to just one idea, this way it expands his brand and all look great as business cards here are my final selection.








Invoice.

Printed my invoice's out for my client, turned out better than expected, i should have printed the A5 rather than A6 but it's too late now, still the aesthetic i'm pleased with, nice and simple with a touch of professionality, waiting to finish everything else so i can photograph it all together, but everything is looking like it will fit together nicely.
I ended up binding the invoices with nuts and bolts which gave it a great finish, the invoices can also be ripped off making it easier for my client.



Envelopes.

Another addition to the range, just some slight variations of envelopes to send customers letters price quotes etc, very minimal, all orange with a white sticker on the back.



Mugs and Helmets.

Being a little bit cheeky and adding some other things my client could use for his brand, to make him seem more professional and at the same time bringing some humor to the table, with my client being my cousin and knowing the type of person he is, the mug is perfect for him and i'm sure his clients would think so too, even after only knowing him a few minutes.




Advertising.

To promote the business for my client, i Photoshopped various different adverts into similar things he uses now, 'A' boards, posters and bigger scale advertisements, they turned out quite well and i feel would boost his reputation and client range.





Website.

Began to design a website after i had most other things done, i wanted to make sure i had a strong design direction before applying anything to my site, a few variations nothing too different form what iv done already but i'm liking the aesthetic.









Business Cards. 4

Again re thinking my business card idea, keeping the design on the back the same but i wanted to experiment with the cut outs from the wood boards i had laser cut, again great aesthetic i just need to make my mind up now and choose one, unless i use all 3 variations.




Business Cards. 3

Another variation of the business card idea, i am sticking with the original design for one side but on the other i have chosen to use a different image, one of the boards that didn't cut out properly has actually become useful, very simple but looks great and looks professional.



Sawdust.

Found a way to make one of my ruined boards work for how i wanted it, luckily even though it was offset off the board i could still make it work by adding a piece of wood to the side, they turned out really well, i was going to use these for the back side of my clients business cards but i don't feel they work as good as i wanted them too, i still want to develop a similar idea but unsure what just yet.


Business Cards. 2

Taking a different approach for the business cards, something to suggest to my client weather or not he will use them i don't know because it could prove to be quite costly. Still i think it's a great idea and would definitely get my client noticed more.

I used a simple template of my logo and used it with the laser cutting machine in woodwork, the result was a nice simple but effective business card, the offcuts looked great also, i was thinking i could use these for key or something.

Boardz.

In an effort to create a large template of my logo through wood in order to sieve sawdust through, i messed up the process 4 times, spending £10 on wood all together, something i really couldn't afford at this time of the year, the first piece of wood didn't go through the laser cutter enough times to penetrate the wood, the second piece sealed the cuts made by the machine due to the wood being MDF, the glue melted due to the high heat and set cover the cut out, the third and fourth were both off set form the center and slightly off the board itself meaning it couldn't work as a template.


For sale final.

Chose to stick with the overall simple aesthetic for the for sale signs, due to the fact the other one looked a lot more like an actual for sale sign as apposed to a promotional piece.


For Sale. 2

Putting my sketched ideas onto screen to see how they look, changed my ideas up slightly to give a different aesthetic, over my range i want to design a similar aesthetic that varies a bit to give a wider range of design whilst keep the brand design there at all times.




'A' Board.

Designing layouts for my clients 'A' board advertisment, this can also be used across a range of promotional material, just getting a little bit of information about what services he has to offer.

I am happy with the variations of design, i will be using the last one, due to its connection with the invoice and compliment slips.







Compliment Slips.

Began to design compliment slips, i've found quite a nice suited aesthetic for this part of the campaign from the invoice, the lines show structure and fit well with the logo and typeface used, i'm going to carry this design through the rest of my stationary.
