Final Design (Colours appear brighter on screen due to CYMK format)
GET DOWN
I was commissioned recently to produce a sticker design for the DJ event organisers GET DOWN. The design was to be based off their bespoke 'suitcase speakers' but more exaggerated and bold. I sent over a few scamps and we discussed which one would best suit their needs. When it came to the technical aspect of the piece, I found it easier for everyone if the client sent me over what website // company they would be using to print the stickers, so I could make sure it was all made to those standards (eg. the dimensions, CMYK, 300dpi). It's important to remember that not everyone understands the technical side of digital processing, so while CMYK comes as second nature to students such as myself, others who just send the JPEGs to print may not. It's import these details are checked so the print job comes out with the right colours ect; no one wants to receive an illustration that you've paid for, only for it to come out printed in different colours to the ones you saw on screen.
The client was pretty relaxed about the whole brief with no deadline in place, he was also a little slow at responding to messages but that didn't particularly affect my process; when a decision had to be made I let him take him time, as there was no rush on my part.
This was a nice brief as it was relatively simple, everyone was happy and payment was received very swiftly. It's also nice to do work for local businesses and feed back into the community I grew up in. Support independent!!
