Collars & Cuffs Identity
Sign for the show proposal
June 02, 2009
In conclusion...
(...although not really, since I've got this project til the event takes place, which will probably be September!)
Really happy with the outcomes. The print work looks cohesive and strongly representative of the identity that has been cemented for the event and its promotion. The clients' feedback has been really positive, both from Battersea and my primary client, Rock Events. The set designer and stylist who's working on C&C for Rock has also given a hugely positive response and has asked me to not only collaborate with her on the styling of the ROH when the Ball takes place but also to work with her on a major freelance project separate from Rock Events.
The event being so far in the future (September 2009) there was restricted info to work with so I've written all the copy myself, employing a bit of creative writing based on guidelines from BDCH and Rock Events, but this is all fully in keeping with the content of the final, FINAL outcome.
Presenting all the work in a custom made folder to collate everything together. Slight issue burning the discs, but hopefully this will resolve in time for assessment. Photos of final products in previous entry, sadly haven't had the opportunity to photograph them all together in the folder but they will be presented in a specially-designed pack.

Printwork coming together.
The programme's back from the wonderful Screaming Colour along with the sponsorship leaflets and menu. Looks good to me! Here's also a pic or two of the self-foiled invitations and the laser-cut paper I no longer have a use for....thinking about that one. Photos to follow.

Invitations - foiling the printers' evil plan
I wanted the event invitation cards silver foiled and embossed, but due to a whopping charge from several printers I followed Clare's advice and ordered some omnichrome - hit & miss laser printer transfer foil. Print your image, overly the foil sheet, heat it, and supposedly your image foils.
Tonight I invaded Kate's flat and took advantage of her, her laser printer and her laminator to get a few prototype invites done. Of course, when the date is set for the event and the client stumps up for the actual invitations they'll be properly foiled by a professional printers, but this is the best I can get with my budget and abilities.
Still, looks pretty good.
Below the photo shows the many, many test pieces made in advance of attempting The Real Thing. Pics of the final result when I have daylight to photograph them tomorrow.

Posters - Cinema 4D experiments
I want to create a series of posters using just the type I've drawn up for this project to go into the corridor leading to the main Amphitheatre bar, through which all the guests will be passing on their way to the reception part of the evening.
Crisp type against a full colour background has worked well up til this point but I've been playing with Cinema 4D with the help of someone more in-the-know about it than me and the 3D effects you can get with type are quite interesting:

Sign - progression
This almost definitely will NOT be ready for Tuesday, but it will most certainly be made for the show.
I pulled in a favour from a saintly former teacher to get this laser-cut from glossy black acrylic. Slight error: He works from a PC-based programme, so in the conversion it sadly lost the absolute flow of the curves, but the difference isn't overly noticeable. It's roughly A2 in size, although for a miniature mockup I've got an A4 copy. I cut a clear acrylic glaze for the front and reverse, and when they're sandwiched together they're high-shine and really smart.
This image shows it over a lightbox with flat lighting behind it...this would be the effect of lighting it with fluorescent tubes and then diffusing the glow.
Tonight going to experiment with the mirrored film and fairy lights (controlled twinkling effect) To be honest not entirely sure I want to bulk it up by sticking a box behind it to light it up. Will consider the options.

Lily article
Wrote the article myself since I had no working copy but to demonstrate how the celebrity features will be laid out. Still working on her headline but the layout's in place.
