J-card Mockup

J-card Mockup

Today I printed a mockup of my final J-card in black and white to make sure I had the correct dimensions so when I screen printed the designs, they would fit inside the packet. The design looked great when put into context like this, especially the spine and back. They have completely different design aspects to the front and the area with the track lists that give this so much more character. I didn't notice this when it was all combined together but when inside the case it made the design look so much better. 

Now all I had to do was create some sort of simple design using my collected patterns for the back side of the J-card. I would use just another pattern from the banknote and also incorporate my object which was the origami rhino by scanning that in and including its jumbled up patterns. This would have no information on it at all so the divide between he front and back cover would become very obvious to whoever was viewing it. This design seen here will be placed easily on the back dividing the two sides.

After my previous crit it was advised that I have two colours separations in my printing. Overlaying the colours would not reflect the flags colours at all so I was advised to separate them instead. I would use a navy blue, red and white paper stock to perform my prints instead as this would represent the Sao Paulo flag a lot clearer. I made some digital mockups of what the colours may look like when printed bother ways, either text red and patterns blue or the other way around. I think having the pattern blue helps the rest of the content blend in quite well with the whole design but I have to be careful when mixing my colours in the actual print that one of the colours ins't too bright or neon. I need them both to be quite dark and moody to pull the rest of the aesthetic off.
