Finishing Touches and Final Outcomes

Visual Quality

About an hour before my print slot, I had a chat with my tutor to see if any of my work needed amending. I just needed to make a few tweaks:


  • Change the colours on the poster to fit in with the theme of the stamps and postcards
  • Edit the silhouette of the mountain so that it doesn't look as if it has been 'live traced', also add a mountain in the foreground to add depth to the image
  • Make a proper dashed line, instead of a haphazard dashed line for the stamps
  • Edit the thickness of the lines in the stamps
(I didn't take any screen shots of the editing process because I was under pressure to complete them in time!)

The Printed Outcomes




Reflection

The poster, postcards and stamps have all printed out relatively well, with a minor error of printing stripes if you look closely. Apart from that, I am pleased with the way the colours work with one another making them work well altogether in a set, which is something that I have struggled with before.

I am glad that I made the last minute finishing touches to increase the visual quality of each format, I definitely know that if I would have left them as they were, at this stage I would be thinking'I wish I would have done this differently'.
