These photos are showing the progress of the making of my final products. Seeing them come together has been the favourite part of this project! But it took a lot longer than I expected!
I started off by printing this case for my CD on my home printer to test the colours, which are exactly how I want them to be!
I bought these little honey pots to put the marmalade in, and I've covered the logo on the top with one of the stickers I printed.
This photograph shows how different printers print different colours, something I learnt in the print module but once again am realising how much better the digital print is! The image in the CD case was printed on my home printer, and was fine, but then I printed the net out as a practise in the Mac suite and my illustrations didn't even show up and the colours were nothing like on screen. So I was in mad panic but in digital print everything printed out fine! The colours were a tiny bit different to my own printed but that was expected.
I used these stencils to create love hearts on my tarts with icing sugar to carry on with the theme of the tarts being made by The Queen of Hearts.
I used this book binding tool to create the perfect tiny hole for the drink me tags. They are so small I had to be really delicate and careful not to rip them.
Here are my final labels, which I stuck on to my products with double sided sticky tape.
So, I went to Morrisons to buy the food featured in my picnic pack so my photographs would be in context. And there were no apricot or jam tarts, so I had to make do with treacle tarts and transform these myself. I wanted to get every detail perfect as it is called the perfect picnic brief!
For some of the stickers, the bee was still showing, so I painted over it with nail varnish.
I hadn't really thought much about book binding which I know was a bad decision, but it turns out that the way I printed and arranged the pages meant I could stick them together and the leaflet was perfectly secure and neat so I'm really happy with that.
I want everything to be as it is the book, so I'm decorating the cake with currants to say Eat Me. There is a quote about this in the Eat Me cake box.
Here are the tarts... no one will know they started off as treacle!
Making the icing hearts proved to be a lot more messier than I expected!
Finally got there in the end, I think having these foods will really add to my photo shoot.
Cutting out the net for a box.
When in digital print, it was really busy because of the third years printing their final show pieces, so I couldn't use the A1 printer, which proved to be a problem as my net was designed for A1. So I just printed it in two pieces and stuck it together. I designed an inside for the box but didn't get to print it after messing up my file during changing the size due to a lack of stress / no sleep! So I bought red tissue paper to stuff the carrier instead.
