I have been working on a christmas publication to raise money for Christian Aid through summer and continued until now. The deadline is just in one week. I have found it quite difficult to find motivation to design for CHRISTMAS?! how did it come around so fast? But I think this is something to learn from in designing for seasons way in advance. It was good to get live work for a large organisation although feel quite bad knowing that I haven't been able to give 100% of my time to it.
This again is something I can learn from in taking jobs on which I know I will want to do well. This is important so that the client is not let down also.
The inside of the publication is advertising churches around the birmingham area - it started 6 to a page but sadly due to lack of interest just turned to 4 a page. This is still to be changed.
They wanted the front cover to be classically christmassy but something people will take notice of. I am not too happy with my final design but as the deadline is coming close and my time is spread between so many things I feel this is the one we will stick to. I think it is definitely on the right lines and does still need a couple of tweeks.
I have stuck with my 'thing' which is hand drawn type plus a small illustration of the birmingham skyline.
