NetSquared brochure
     
  This project was initiated to promote and compliment the NetSquared website. This printed material was required for marketing and promotional purposes.  
 
  Design

From initial ideas pre-artwork scamps were thought about and produced on paper.
The more feasible ideas were then designed into formal concepts using a PC computer and presented to the directors as images via email.
There were then concept changes requested by the directors and then after various changes a written or signed final approval from them.
The timescale of the total project was reviewed and various parts of the project were planned to meet critical path timescales.

Artwork

A digital stock photography search was undertaken.
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 Photoshop and prepared in CMYK ready for print as artwork, plus the special shiner plate.
In this case a flat nets was produced using Freehand or Illustrator and fold allowances specified for the printer as a guide.

Print and Finishing


The artwork was sent to the printer. A matchprint or cromalin colour proof , taken from the printers films, or wetproof, taken from the printers plates was sent back for final checking
Any major amendments were made in the artwork and re-sent to the printer, though minor amendments were generally made by the printer
The print stock was finally confirmed, and the project was printed, folded and finished by RP Print in Bishops Stortford.
The finished job was sent out to me to pass on for distribution.
