bag

the idea for the bad is based on a breathing bag as to destress. The idea of it is based on having the rounded elements on the bag so that has the calming effect that the research said that it had on people. using the logo in the center of the bag references the layout of the poster and works for the poster as it is a tiny amount of text and brings attention to the title. It has the same effect on the bags as it breaks up the patterns. 
this pettattern is just a bit much because the logotype is swallowed a bit because it is alone on the page. 

the use of the pattern that we were going to have on the back of the poster initially workes better ar the circles breaks up the waves. the use of waves works nicely as they have a very rhythmic pattern and is reminiscent of the ocean with the addition of the "islands". The circles have a hypnotic effect as your eye is pulled towards it. this was the favorite from the peer review. The only thing is that the 

this is one of the discarded patterns the idea of it could be cool but as a bag, it becomes too much, and the logo . type is lost yet again. 




Screen printing

we got the screens stripped and exposed yesterday so it was ready for me to start printing. I had some initial problems with getting the colours right the yellow was to washed and out and a bit too close to a neon colour. the alignment was a bit off too but I should be able to have a poster that is close-ish to perfect.

So to keep with the colourful

crit

-Have the poster folded up in a kit with the bag 
-Rationale first post 
-Have a problem and solve it 
-Statistics of people that prefer tough love?
-Do a poll on Instagram - post the results 
-Direct them to a help website 
-Make the gif loop 
-Make the wavy gif faster - make your mind up by the time the wave has gone from here to here

As to find out whether people need some tough love in order to do their work Pat said that he could put a poll up on the lau Instagram so that we can find out. I made this design so that it is in keeping with the aesthetic of our project. 



stickers

we needed to do the stickers so that they can be photographed.

the stickers are these patterns with a header above it that I made today just to reference the poster each pack is to have six stickers. the plan was for mia to print them and find a similar colour to the screenprints, but it might be the printer that made them have a green tint, but at least they are done.
I wish the digital print was not as crowded so we could redo it but I don't think that can happen.

changes poster

in the crit, with Ali, he said that the poster could be double-sided so that you get both tough love and nice motivation on each card. in addition to that ben and pat said that there should be a way to find the poster and more online, even if this design idea is based on getting away from the screen for short times out of the day there is also added a hashtag so that you can find other peoples pictures of the cards or whatever. in the slides, we are going to open up with a fact that is going to be linked to the source.
I came up with the idea of having the two sides in the different colour we had chosen at the start of it. this would showcase the more aggressive though love as that side would be orange and the
