Final Digital Output - Ready For Production....

These (almost) are the final digital output for Velvet Liaison, all the changes suggested in the critique last week have been explored and applied. The cover is going to be screen printed in gray, all the lighter gray parts of the BAFTA logo will be foiled in silver. The opening page of the True grit spread is going to be screen printed on to sand paper for a tactile effect in keeping with both the philosophy of the magazine and the genre and nature of the film in this particular spread, it is a tactile take on the traditional 'wanted poster' which is carried onto the DPS which will be screen printed on brown paper (body copy will be printed on the inkjet post screen-print). The original King George VI coat of arms and film title will for The Kings Speech introductory DPS will be flocked to add a tactility of a royal persuasion, the original colour for this technique was to be the royal purple for which the following DPS title and drop cap were colour matched. However, during the planning of the development this choice was changed to Royal Blue, the follow on page will be colour picked to match before being printed conventionally using an inkjet printer. The Alice in Wonderland introductory DPS illustration will be added to with a silver foiled pocket watch, adding a level of tactility to tie in with the overall effect of the magazine. All other spreads will be printed conventionally using an inkjet printer. I have secured high quality matt 180 gsm paper for all the printing techniques to uniform the spreads apart from those which are intentionally different, I have found some beautiful 230 gsm cartridge paper for the cover (all the paper has to be cartridge paper as this is the best material for the foiling and flocking techniques, found out the hard way by the illustration and fashion students before me) and last but not least I searched high and low for a paper that was suitable in both colour and texture to use to construct the belly band that will be die-cut (preferably with the laser cutter, but if a scalpel and my hand is the only avenue I will give it my all!) with the magazine masthead. The colour of the paper was very important as I wanted it to match the colour of the masthead which will be printed on the inside cover. Wish me luck!
