OUGD502 - Studio Brief 01 - Physical Outcome Production

In physically producing my final practical responses, it was decided to stick with the idea of printing these as postcards of an A5 (148 x 210 mm) size. Each design was first printed onto matte paper. This stock was decided on since it was thought to allow the ink to stick better to the page with minimal smears of ink from previous prints, which also gave a nice texture to the postcards which can be seen to enhance the design, particularly its colours. To make these less flimsy and more sturdy like typical postcards, these were then stuck to some hardback card used typically for the production of hardback book covers. This made the designs thicker and sturdier, something which can also help minimise any potential damage to the postcards.
