When it came to printing my designs I had to consider double-siding because of the nature of the design. Lining up documents is difficult enough and I would have to allow for bleed. Because I need to cut out the designs around the balaclavas I don't think double-siding the prints will work; it will become too complicated with sizing, the type and intricacies of the design such as the cat ears. If I had more time or had considered this from the beginning it might have been possible although still really difficult, but I will have to print them separately and then construct them.
For the poster brief I used a white antique stock which gave a really nice affect when printing with the colours in my design. However it has a thicker weight and because of the type on the poster being white my design will come out with three colours if I do not stick to white stock.
Constructing the envelope
All 5 final designs ready for presentation for the crit:
I am really pleased with the final designs. Although it is probably possible to tell that they have been cut out by hand I think it doesn't matter too much and probably fits in with the general DIY Punk aesthetic. They are very long but the concept behind it makes sense and I think it becomes more than a mailshot to inform, but also a piece of design that I can imagine pinning up on a wall as a decorative piece. I think it ties in with my poster designs and also works well as an independent piece to be received in the post and promote the Free Pussy Riot campaign.
