Bound Look book

After waiting for the glue to dry, Rose's look book is finally finished, I produced two mock versions however she took her copy before I could take a picture.

Binding Rose's look book

Stickers for swing tags

Because double sided printing came a little askew we decided to print stickers to correct the alignment. 

Preparing sheets for binding

Folding the sheets for Rose's handbook that I printed this morning. Getting the photography this late has seriously put a strain on the rest of my work, just goes to show it's not just about my time-management but that of other people as well. For hand-in I've enough to make 2 look books, one for myself and one for Rose, she needs hers by Tuesday though.

Swing tags

Printed the swing tags this morning on mount board double sided, as expected it's not perfectly aligned but a lot worse that I thought it was going to be, going to talk to Rose about using stickers with the info on to cover the mis-aligned info.

Look book cover

Can't spend as much time on this as i would of hoped but shouldn't probably spend too much time on it anyway, the photos have still not got back which means we're going to have to print this a day before her deadline, for once nothing is my fault but i'm still feeling the stress.

Look Book Cover

Gfsmith order delay

So after ordering Lauren and Rose's stock on Wednesday, it failing to be delivered on Friday and their promise of a Monday morning delivery failing to come true I am now having to wait til Tuesday for the paper to arrive in the meantime I've printed Lauren's covers off on a matte stock. This has set me back almost 4 days with both look books but I'm hoping to get at least one of each printed for Thursdays final crit.

Credit page layout

Made a few amends to the original credit page (the bottom image) Still waiting for the contact details to be sent over for the people involved.

Rough mock up of Look book (Holohan)

A rough of Rose's lookbook with the pre-edit photography. Needed something as a foundation to work from and start a discussion with Rose, she's happy with the style of layout but commented on the credits page and the 1st page type, asking to switch the 'One' around with the logo.

Rough Mock

Business Cards have arrived

Business Cards arrived today from Pressision, Quite with the 350gsm Candy Pink, they've printed really well. Showed them to Rose and she's quite really happy with them and glad that I went with that stock.

Rose photo shoot

Myself and Rose art-directing the photo shoot for her collection earlier today, was a great experience and probably the most fun I've had whilst working hard. We had a deadline of 6pm to get Joe (model) out of there to get back to London, So we had about 4 hours to get through 6 outfits and getting the right shots and lighting for each one was a lot hard than expected. It's something I've always been interested in and I really enjoyed it so wouldn't mind been involved in more things like this, especially in the fashion industry.

Lasercut hangers

The laser cut hangers for Rose, was quite tricky lining the logo on each hanger as every other one was slightly different and I had to compensate and put in a little guess work, goes to show computers can't do everything themselves.  

swing tag print format / crop marks

Had to manually mark up crop marks so that I can cut out the double sided swing tags when I've printed on to the mount board, hopefully they won't be off to much and possibly only a few mm a skew if printing doesn't go perfect which usually doesn't when double side printing.

Final info on swing tags

FINAL Info Swing Tags

Final swing tag layout development

We discussed using a blue that was similar to the venetian wool Rose used in her garments but clashed too much. So I went ahead and suggested grey as it would suit most of the collection and compliment even the grey garments in her collection, the layout of the type had to be simple but still have an hierarchy, below are the slight stages of development I went through to get to the final design.  

Final Swing Tag Development

Inside neck labels

Mocking up the information to go on the inside neck labels, these will be digitally printed onto fabric and sewn onto the garments. I've approached this in a similar way to the rest of the the brief and used a minimalist layout.Inside Neck Labels

Initial Swing tag ideas

Initial ideas on how to layout swing tags for the garments. Still working out what stocks to use.
Swing Tags

Stationary Mock up

A quick mock up of how the stationary is going to turn out, kind of a visual checklist of what there is left to think about such as things like packaging, swing tags etc.
