Final Packaging

> My Packaging was inspired by the format of my top ten, Books. The Brothers Grimm made their trade from writing and publishing their stories in Books. I chose to use Baskerville as it looks and feels mature and in the right context, aged.

After making an error in producing the book before foil blocking I was adamant that I was going to scrap the whole thing and produce a new one from scratch, but with time restraints and utilising time to manage after effects and blogging I decided that the finished product wasn't as bad as I first thought. I can take away from this that I now know to print onto the woven material first and also a new technique and effect which I can apply to book design//

> The foil blocking process didn't go as smoothly as intended, because I'd made the book beforehand when we put it under the heat press the PVA glue melted and came through the woven material//

> The nice people in the print room let me have the foil for free and so I foil blocked the remaining area of the cover so the mistake wasn't so obvious. The result isn't too bad, it isn't what I wanted but in terms of time I'm happy to use this as my final packaging design//
