Summary

So this is just a summary of what was done for post-show.

We did personalized and general thank you letters for sponsors, assessors, faculty, special thanks, volunteers, speakers and alumni.

We made thank you packages that included 5 postcards, and a wrap piece that had a thank you message inside for assessors, sponsors and speakers.

We made USB boxes to hold the files that were given to high level sponsors. (Images below)

We ordered kraft retail paper bags, kraft envelopes, bubble mailers, white envelopes.

We included Versos, YSDN posters, Gradshow posters, NewWebPick favours, Gradshow pins, Gradshow slides into assessor and high level sponsor packages.

more bag designs

bag designs

Here are a few bag design concepts I've come up with, I'm not sure how complicated we wanted to get with them, I know that the more in the design, the more work we have to do! So let me know if you like any of them and we can play some more with it. I just did these ones in illustrator, not sure how to set up files for the vinyl cutter.

Matchbox part II

Just ignore that template in the right hand corner, somehow it exported everything that was in the file, not just the artboard.

more postcard fronts

Postcard Fronts

ok so this is only a few of them but they look reallly crappy so I'll keep working on getting the images up.

Final designs: Color mock-ups

Full colour mock-ups of the high level and general level thank you items.

Front and back of both.

General Item

High Level Item

Another box

Didn't have time to make mock-ups, cause I just found this by accident, but here's an interesting idea for the USB boxes, with a wonderlusty shape...

USB packages

The mock-ups for the USB box, I didn't have any cloth or foam lying around, but was thinking we could line the boxes in either of those...?

CD Case Idea

Ok here, is a quick cd case that I attempted, it is the squre front so those dashed lines represent the folds they can be taken out. I am not sure what is happening when I upload the file, I've tried it a few times but i can't get it to work. the blue shape, is supposed to be the inside and would be a light beige colour taken from the image, with a thank you message and the logo where the centre of the cd is, so that you see it through the centre. ...but its not showing up. anyways...that is the idea! It is different from the ribbon one and is from one of the original meetings, I just had the template and thought I would try it, it is simple to make and both front and back fit on an 11x17 page.

USBs are here!!!

I just received the USBs at about noon. I was pretty surprised that they delivered them so quickly, since it was just last week that I got a reply from them. I now have 20 USB drives, 512MB. The dimensions of the USB is 3.125 (Height) x 1 (Width) x 0.25 inches (Depth). There is also a nice circular area on the front where we can possibly buy circular labels and stamp or print our logo onto it and stick it onto the USB.

Final designs: First run through

Here are the latest items with a few slight revisions. I am going to be sending Raf or Mimi a PDF fo this (or something very similar) so that we can get the profs to suggest revisions or approval. A colour mock-up will then be made the following week so that the profs can approve the designs on April 23. Below is the high level item (with images) and the general item (with images).

Another version of postcard collection

Here is just a version with tabs on the side to hold the cards in. Obviously we won't be able to afford a die-cut to cut out the tabs, since our budget is so low, but Annmarie was saying that we could always cut it manually (great for hours...).

Thank you letter

Here is the thank you letter that is 6 x 11 so that it fits nicely into the thank you item. Personally, I like the first one the best.

Revised thank you items

So from the meeting Wed, revisions have been made. Here is the image of the general thank you item and the high level thank you item.

Thank you e-mail cont.

Here are some thank you e-mail versions that Helena Harvey has been working on. Personally, I think that the last one is the most successful. Great job Helena :)

Thank you e-mail

Just a rough version (see it animated in the digital locker file).

Some updates on the postcard collection item

Here is the updated work of the week. I made a custom sized letterhead for our thank you letters. It fits nicely in the thank you items we've established. Also, we spoke breifly about flaps for the postcard collection, and I think the easiest and most affordable way to do it is by printing another sheet that will be glued on (see image at the bottom).

Designs: Postcard Pack

This is the development of the pack. I'm not sure if we are mailing any of these so I've made some different variations. The collection will be mailed in an envelope. The third verison is to show it printed on cream stock. Also the last image is just to show the cover/back of the two pieces.
