With close guidance, I was directly involved in the creation and production of several projects which led to the increase in print production and sales including:
Idealization and creation of a logo for a pastry shop called
Slice of the Clyde.
Editing and restyling of the Brochure front page for the Neilston
Agricultural Society.
Re-imagining the visuals for an A1 Poster to be used on an outside billboard by housing agents called Patch.
Visualizing the new look for the Shop frontage of the Print Centre.
Re-designing the Packaging flyer for the Print Shop which increased the clarity and visibility of the packaging costs for customers.
In addition, there was an increased output of print material due to the involvement in the print processes:
Resizing layouts.
Logo alterations.
Color corrections.
After three days, I paid a visit to their print factory where.
I got to witness how CMYK color is arranged for offset printing.
