Newspaper adverts for Bellwinch Homes
     
  Advertisements designed for local and national newspaper distribution for housing projects for Bellwinch and Twigden Homes (both part of the Kier Group).  
 
  Design

Once the project was confirmed and brought on board, there was initially a brainstorming session – gaining ideas from existing brochures
The more feasible ideas were then designed into formal concepts using an Apple Mac computer and presented to the customer as draft ideas on quick printouts or via email.
There were then concept changes requested by the customer and then after various changes a written or signed final approval from them.

Artwork

High resolution image scanning took place with some image manipulation in Photoshop.
Production and tracing of some of the artwork in Freehand and Illustrator and at times some further stylising in Photoshop.
The elements were then laid out in Quarkxpress on the Mac and prepared in CMYK ready for print as artwork for Newspaper format.

Print and Finishing


The artwork was sent to the newspaper. A faxed or colour proof was sent back for final checking.
Any major amendments were made in the artwork and re-sent to the newspaper, though minor amendments were generally made by the newspaper publishers.
The finished job appeared in the netaional and local newspapers generally a week after final proof had been agreed.
