Zine pack Mock up.
Playing with ways to package my final zine, i would like to incorporate my invitation into the packaging as i have above, i'll still be looking at different ways to deliver as im not 100% with this design.
Mock up poster.
Mock up Zine.
My final mocked up zine, doing this has really aided my progress and helped me finalise the design and content layout in my zine, i'm excited to see how it will turn out.

Design Sheets.
Experimenting with different ways to design invitations and possible packaging for a gold plaque, i dont feel the hexagon packaging is necessary due to the logo also being hexagon.
Some poster design i'm not going to use these, i think a more visual approach in terms of using nasa's photographs of the universe is more appropriate, also the images are good enough themselves to be poster.
I think the wax seal is a bit to old to use in this project i feel a more modern printing approach would be more fitting.
Designs for a poster tube, id like to design my own hexagonal tube and think it would be an interesting approach to packaging.
The design for my zine is coming together nicely, i'm going to follow this idea and expand from it.

Print Trip - Target
Wednesday 12th October.
For help with our ongoing brief 'what is design for print' a print visit was arrange by our year tutor.
After the visit i feel far more knowledgable about print now and wouldn't mind taking an other visit to a different warehouse just for a bit more experience.
Litho Printing.
Is a six colour printing machine that uses CMYK, and also 2 more spot colours.
- The image/images are etched onto a plate.
- 4 different plates one for each colour - C/M/Y/K.
- The plates are attached onto different sections of the machine.
- The paper is lifted using small suction pads.
- It is then fed into the print passing through each section were the ink is pressed from the plated to the rubber roller and from there onto the paper, this is because the plates would wear down easily if it was straight from the plates.
- Ink is added to each section by hand, fed into the top of the machine.
- Prints are regularly checked to make sure the registration marks are aligned properly.
- At the end of the process starch is sprayed onto the paper to stop them from sticking together (the starch is so fine you cannot see or feel it, therefore not damaging the prints).
-
Die Cutting.
Die cutting is another print method used by Target.
- The Die cutting shapes are made by hand from another company working along side target.
- The shapes are cut out by this machine pressing them onto paper.
