Looking for quotes on the bag

I have been looking through some of the stuff the woman gave me when i went in-store. As i have made a decision about why i have chosen to design three sizes of bags i wanted to find quotes to back up what was going to go into the bags. In the body-shop magazine about all their products i found quotes which i have changed a bit to relate to their products. This is what will be written underneath my 'i'm all natural baby' strapline.

The small bags will have:
"Experience the magic in our make-up"


The medium bags will read:
"Find your Natural Match"
-we've got a skin range which is right for you


For the Large bags the quote will read:
"Make someone smile with our great selection of nature-inspired gifts'

Loud

Piece of work done by BaseDesign. Nice concept of using post it notes on the wall to create the type. The spot colours used for the other promo stuff for the exhibition also works really well with the colours of the post its. Overall nicely executed piece of design using single spot colours on the print based material could mean this may have been cheap for production.

Crit Feedback on design context book



The crit feedback was really useful and a good point was made about the fact that i don't want my book to be full of 'stuff' but an interesting study which i have found out stuff which are interesting and will engage my audience. So my plans from here are:

> Look into High/Medium/Low design agencies and see how they deal with their design problems. For example how do coca-cola deal with their design in comparison to home brand coco-cola found in the supermarkets
> Also exploring the type of stocks/finished they use in order to complete their projects to the highest standard according to their budget.
>Maybe look at the difference between how professional commercial printers finish is in comparison to using local printers.

My plan on the production of the book
>All my research and findings will reflect on the finish of my book. For example case studies into the larger companies, i will print on high quality stock and have samples of foiling, spotgloss etc. throughout the layout of the book and low budget projects will look at printing on lower weigh papers, 1 colour graphics etc. I feel that this approach will give the audience a bit of a feel into what and how high/low budget can effect the design and how you can really push design to another level with whichever budget you are working from.
