Production Considerations - OUGD505, Studio Brief 01

When starting this brief a lot of research went into design based on the style of the band and the event, like looking at 70s design, rock band covers, posters etc. The design should reflect this research, using simplistic styles, and bold writing to show relevant information. To produce these designs they would have to be made using a process relevant to the time the event was shown and using the cheapest and quickest methods as this is how music venues would usually produce their advertising. This will mean using the cheapest stock to hand and the cheapest printing method that allows three colour prints. Screen printing will allow this and would be the quickest method outside of digital printing to produce the cheapest prints using three colours. The issue is the stock choice, a white cartridge stock would be cheap to buy in bulk and would be heavy enough to hold the ink and then be hung or displayed. If a white stock is used the black will have to be printed on top of the red and blue circles whereas if a black stock is used then white ink could be used to print and then red and blue could be printed on top of this. This would be the quickest method but the stock may cost slightly more.
