Postcards - Planning and designing.

We have been planning the postcards, I have been designing the postcards on Adobe Illustrator and creating the look for them. I have designed a front and a back, and I have thought about what should go on the postcards and where it should go.   
We have now changed the design of the postcards, they are now A5 front and back. On the front we have Penwith college the course name and a picture of the building that the specific course is located in. 


This was the first initial design for the front of the postcards, its simple and is set for the seperate subjects.

We then decided that we should place a picture on it somewhere.

We found the college logo and edited it in Adobe Illustrator, we designed it for an A5 sheet of paper. We then stuck with the green colour scheme and put the name of the course at the bottom.


This is a design that we got from the first initial design, but we have placed a picture of the Zennor building in the background and changed the opacity of it so that we could see the writing.

The picture of the Zennor building is relevant as it tells you that the Creative and Media diploma is located in the Zennor building.

We may have to change the width of the writing, so that it becomes more clearer on top of the picture.




This is the first design for the back, the layout is again simple, but shows the information needed.

But still we decided that it'd be best to add pictures.
The student comments looked a bit out of place, we had to seperate the two with lines.
The information is set in bullet point format, to make it more appealing to younger readers, as they wouldn't want to read a whole paragraph.





We have placed the Penwith website address on the back so that people who are interested in the course can go there to find more information.

Now that we have designed and printed a postacard that we are happy with, we now have to create postcards for the other subjects. We have to change the writing to be relative to the subject and change the pictures.
