OUGD505 - What is Good - Rationalle

Rationale

With this brief I wish to explore the area of wedding stationary and the use of crafts when producing to a budget. The element of typography is something I wish to explore with the creation of a typeface for the wedding and any possible future collateral, hand rendered type will add a touch of personality to the invites. 

The final resolution should reflect something of industry standard that can be produced on a scale of 80 - 100 invites, there will also be a hand made guest book also produced to industry standard using techniques that will be informed by the production of a 16 page research booklet.

Understanding the limitations of producing this brief will help me to focus on techniques and processes that I will not be able to use such as commercial foil blocking or using special inks such as scented ink. There are further potential limitations of using processes at the Vernon Street site such as free slots and producing work in a multi disciplinary studio with a limited number of staff however this will only strengthen my independent studies.

Having a proof reader present which is not the client will allow for and copywriting issues such as grammar and language, the client could be bias towards a particular tone of voice.

By creating everything by hand there will be a reflection of the couples interests in DIY and craft reinforced through with the possibility of a digital or online element to the day. The target audience are mostly tech illiterate, therefore the issue of digital image sharing and blogging will be considered.

The packaging and distribution of the invite will need to be strong in concept and production, there is aspects of paper craft and 3D pop up to each invite therefore ensuring each recipient gets a well constructed invite will be the key to it’s overall success.
