The Finished Product-Jane Monheit's Postcard

Design is not the narrow application of formal skills, it is a way of thinking.

— Chris Pullman

And finally I have finished the postcard. Below are my two final products that I sent to the Cultural Programs office:

Both of the postcards passed my credentials I listed in my first post here. I feel the postcards efficiently describe her music and what audience members can expect to hear. The hierarchy is obvious for both and the color pallet in particular represents the feel of her music and my concept for each. Finally, it includes all pertinent information for the concert. However, I did have a few complications regarding number 5, the regulations. As I have learned extensively in a Print Production course I am taking this fall, there are A LOT of regulations to follow concerning mailing regulations that I didn’t really put a lot of thought into previously. Luckily, I have learned enough to complete a postcard which will most definitely be able to be mailed, and look good doing it too.

The Cultural Programs chose the more modern postcard (my personal favorite as well), and after several small revisions concerning the type size, placement, and specifics and adding bleed (oops), it has been sent to the printer and will be sent in the mail on October 7^th. Now that that is completely finished, on to the next! The Irish Chamber Orchestra and Leon Fleisher!
