Final Piece.

Yesterday we completed our final piece for the project, the whole group is really pleased with it ! I love the retro, vintage look that is brought by the choice of colours and the curved edge borders. I think all the images fit into the composition really successfully too. After feedback from blog group two we changed the name to 'How To (Not) Flag A Taxi As A Student,' as we found a lot of our points were advising the things not to do, rather than the steps to flag one. Another thing we altered was the text, we thought that just having the points as bullet points didn't really provide the humour we were looking for so we added additional descriptions to accomodate this. I'm really glad we did this as I think it appeals to students even more now. Here is our final poster design...

After deciding that we were going to make a fold out card/poster here is our design for the cover...




All of the group are really happy with how it has turned out, I love the front and am really happy that we have been able to include our taxi guy! Also, for the back we thought it would be a good idea to include some taxi firm numbers. Not only will it be helpful for students new to the city, but it will also be a reason for them to keep the card instead of throwing it away after viewing, as the numbers will be good to keep.

After finishing we went down to the printing room and printed off two A4 sheets with the cover on onto card and then a corressponding amount of A4 posters. It was great to see everything coming together and be able to hold what we had created in our hands. We then took some photo's of our product in context...
