Be your shelf final

Today was the final event and I have been very sucessfull in what Ive done and have sold all my packets and all my booklets here are the final outcomes and pictures from today.



also Final packets.


So s you can see I went for the very professinal look even though my booklet was completely the opposite way round, I also made a box say I could have my packs and my booklets to sell to the public very easily, I also managed in the end to make £27 and sold all my packs but not all my books with only 2 left, I feel like this has been a great day in terms of money but it was also a great day for the whole year as we all got together and made what I would call a great show, it should have been called be our shelf in stead.
So now anaylisying the booklet and packets them self.
I feel that my booklet was a great Idea and heres what I loved about it.
  • Colours - colour cordated very well ( red and yellow feem).
  • Money saving idea- Idea behind the whole book its self.
  • Imagery done well- drawing techniques worked with the booklet as I drew so it would be clear for small-scale paper such as smaller than A6.
  • Dress code- Loved the suit.
  • Peoples feedback- peoples feedback on the idea was great, some even said send it to downing street.
  • Flow of pages- Liked how I made every over page different from the next so it wouldn't get boring, for example their would never be a do printed on both set of pages it would always be do and dont.
Things I wish I could change.
  • Way it was made- If I had more time that I did I would of got it made more professionaly and maybe even have takern it to a print shop.
  • Photoshop- Some of the images are a bit wonky in places but will fix that if I was to make it again.
  • Handwriteing- I wish I used font on the computer instead of my handwriting, although it does sort of add tot he effect of making it in a basement look.
  • More time- As peer every project I wish there was more hours in the day to have made this alot better than it was.
overall though I really feel like this is what I want to do alot more than i do  already and would be fantastic If i can take what ive learnt from this project and maybe hopefully take it into the next one.

Be your shelf outcome comong together

My outcome for be your shelf as it is now called is coming along rather well Ive already done half my booklet drawings and have made my banner/signpost that I will be holding up alongside me as I sell at the event.
Heres a finished page from the booklet already.


I like the idea of having a different colour for every page as it will hopefully make the pages seem more alive as the reader goes on to read, I also like the way in which Ive lade out the page having the title at the top and then the total at the bottom of how much you save altogether.
What i may change as I go on depending on time is the way Im writing it as I may instead use font on the computer instead of using my handwriting,although it looks like Ive made it like as I go which is sort of the idea of this as it will be saving money I guess.

After asking a few of my friends at uni about this typeface they seem to love ti and want me to keep it as handwriting as it looks like " its made in your basement" which is the look I want to go for.

Be your shelf, half way

So far ive just got right stuck in with this project and good for the idea of having a booklet of some sort at this event with a small pack along side it to help understand the work more and to help Britain in effect save millions (hopefully).
So ive started off with my logo and hopefully soon my idea with also come to life and how I want to show off my work.

At the moment Im my plan is to have my self standing up with a baner like this image and then having my self with a tray and selling my stuff from there to the public.
And as ive said its a very sort project and I think at this stage i need to jump into and just go with the flow of work thats coming from it.

devlopment on be your self

SO this is the first week of be your self and we have started things off with looking at each overs primers and trying to find the right words to fit with each over person, I got many funny and humour words alongside some weird ones that I feel don't make sense to much. But the general understanding of everyone was that my work was funny which is good and thats what I want to focus on. We now have a week or two to draw everyday and have a thought of the day relating to our work and the way in which we want to show off our work if that makes any sense.
