Note Pad Project

For our first project, we are creating a 5x7 self promotional notepad that shows potential employers what we can do and make them interested in our work. Having a piece that will not only show off my work but will also give them information about me and allow them to go check out more of my designs through my QR code will be a very productive piece of work. Therefore my target audience is potential employers and the purpose is to promote myself and my work. My call to action would be my QR code. It just tells them that if they like what they see they can find out more by going to my blog or website. The project specifications are as follows:

5x7 in notepad

Black ink only

It could or could not have a bleed.

50 sheets per pad

Padded

Chip board back

Thumbnail sketches

Here is my Rough

For my rough I used a .125 bleed and a .25 margin. I do have a bleed on my that runs off the page. I got a price from printing services for my notepad. For one notepad it would cost $3.39. I also asked the price for if I had 100 printed. The cost for 100 notepads was 118.47 which would put them a little over a dollar each. 

This is my final draft. I used a .125 bleed and a .25 margin. I created the vector images, and the ink splatter came from Illustrator Symbols. The QR code was generated at http://qrcode.kaywa.com/. As for my master image list elements, I used 2 Reverses(the Spill it out text and the Simply Regan Text), a vector art(the pen), and a gray-scale raster(the QR code). Overall, this project turned out to be a lot better than I anticipated.
