Final Project

My final project is going to have numerous folds and a die cut. I will be making it as a graduation announcement for my boyfriend. It will go out to anyone and everyone who is invited. I will include the date, time, place, and pictures. I am not sure on the cost yet. I was trying to decide on two different folds. My project will be a 14" x 5". There will be a die cut on the front, making it a flap. There will be two folds. The bleed will be at .125" with margins of .25". The paper is going to be like a card. When folded, it becomes a 5 X 7.  I plan on using colors like red and blue because I am designing this for a guy or I may just use Pitt State colors. . Below are thumbnails and roughs. The price it would cost to print 500 copies with front and back color, with a coated cover would be $164.45.

5 Thumbnails. They show the front cover and inside

 

2 roughs.

We made a folding dummy to see what our folds would look like and to help guide us. 

Here are a few pictures. The first picture is the card folded, the second is it unfolded.

     This is the front cover along with the back of the card.              

Here is the inside of the graduation announcement.

For the final piece, I used vector art (the graduation cap), a Dutone photo (front image), and 2 screen tints, red and yellow, which are the Pitt State colors. The images used on my project were taken by Dave Pfortmiller's mom. I drew the graduation cap. The paper I used was 80# uncoated cover. Front and back color, red and yellow. It has 2 folds and 1 diecut on the front.
