Promo pack and contents

This is my promo pack and it's contents. Surprisingly it was harder to do then I planned, I changed it from A5 to A6 when I realised that A5 is still quite big and that made everything a little easier. I printed at my mums house again as I did not have the time to try and get into the print room. However this meant that I also had to cut it down at my house rather than college, I do own a little guillotine but it's one where you pull the blade down rather than across. This means that it bends the page each time and cuts it at an angle instead of a neat edge. I've tried to minimise this as much as possible but there are still some issues. For actually giving my promo pack to a professional I'd want to recut these and make the package a bit neater. I had a real issue with the blue pencil ones as well. I hav never tried to keep the pencil lines when neatening things so it became quite difficult to keep a white background and the pencil marks. As well as having trouble initially keeping the pencil marks I also had trouble when printing them as they kept coming out too pale. As I don't have photoshop at home I had to use a regular photo editing program that i had less control over, so I'm less happy with how they turned out. The business card also had issues as after buying some card to print on, it was too thick for my mums printer. To solve this I ended up printing it on to a heavy stock and then gluing it to the card I bought. It's not as neat but it seems to have worked reasonably well. All the examples of my work I included have a purpose, they each show a different example of my work: comic, book, character design, analog, autobiographical and stand alone. To finish off my work I printed some stickers of my potatofinch to seal my pack. I really like the look of this but it wasn't quite strong enough by itself, so I added a small bit of the plain, clear sticker to hold down the inside pages. If I'd had the time I would have liked to have printed an "open me" sticker so the the inside sticker didn't look so out of place and so the receiver of the pack knew it was meant to be opened completely.
