I had a bit of a stressful day today trying to get my packaging printed... I had decided to print it myself in the illustration room because I had printed off my front covers for my sketchbooks in the uni printer and needed my wrap around packaging to be the same thickness so I thought it would be a good idea.
I had such a smooth ride printing off my sketchbook covers, but not my packaging... I just kept getting it wrong, putting the paper in the wrong way or not ticking the right boxes before printing, so annoying!! But after a bit of help and £6 later I eventually found out how to use the printer properly and all was well!
I'm not massively happy with the packaging. Well it looks good in the picture, but in real life I don't think it's amazing. I wouldn't mind if the stock was a little thicker and the front cover isn't as crisp as it looked on screen which is frustrating. But I really like the inside and I'm glad I've made a wrap around sleeve rather than have all the information on the back just to add another element to the publication.
Now all I need to do is make one of my prints into a concertina book, then it's complete!
