OUGD504 - Design Production: Design For Print (Final Leaflet)

These are the photographs of my final print information leaflet for LGP. I am really happy with the outcome and they are now ready to be used and mass produced.

OUGD504: Design Production - Design For Print (LGP Images)

Having designed the leaflet for LGP I realised that I needed to add more imagery to it as it was looking a little bit too plain and corporate. I think if I had left it without any images it wouldn't have caught people's attention half as much. Therefore I asked Phil if he would send over some of the images from their website so that I could apply them to my work. Below are the images he sent to me, all at high resolution. 

I am looking forward to experimenting with the placement of these images. I think that it may look a little bit too busy if I was to use all of the images so I just need to be selective. 

OUGD504 - Design Production: Design For Print (LGP Visit 2)

This morning following on from my previous phone call and email regarding ink, I visited LGP for the second time. I wanted to get there as early as possible as I was aware that Philip had meetings in the afternoon. I managed to get there early and was able to see him straight away. I was given two boxes full of samples which they use to show clients. I spent about half an hour sorting through them all and trying to collect as many different samples I could, that illustrated different types of processes. I found a lot of designs that I loved and I am really excited about using them to create my sample pack that potential clients will receive.

Whilst I was there I also asked whether he had any brand guidelines, he said that they didn't. Therefore when I asked about colours to use as well as the logo, he said that he would be able to send over a high resolution version of their logo as well as send over the images that they use on their website. 

Before I went to LGP today I had already been thinking about the printed materials I could use for them. I wrote all of my ideas down on paper, shown below. I feel as though I have a lot to be working on, therefore the brand guidelines may not be necessary, I will have to wait and see.

OUGD504 - Design Production: Design For Print (LGP Inks)

Having spoken to Philip at LGP about working for him he has since sent me information from two of his ink suppliers. I thought this was really kind of him as it is something I hadn't asked from him in particular, and it will help me a great deal when creating the set of concertina booklets for him and his clients. Below is the email from Philip.

I can also take influence from the layout of their pages as well. I am going to read through all of this information thoroughly before applying it to my own work.
