Class Week 6 - Printing, Paper finishes and Final brochure

Before Monday i started research paper stocks for my brochure to be printed on. I realized when i was printing early test prints the shine from the black ink on standard 80gsm printer paper was too harsh, so after some research i am planning to go with 130gsm symbol matt plus, i feel this paper stock has idea thickness and the matt finish keeps the shine down.

Picture for comparison

On Monday i went to have one final critique with my tutor and unfortunately was shed some light on my black theme which as with poor design judgement i had no reason for.

So Monday was a rushed overhaul day for the brochure, played around with various arrangements and such and my final brochure ended up like so.

I'm happy with myself for trying for pushing my skills to create this publication. Although im disappointed in the final publication, to me, it feels unfinished, this is just down to poor communication on my part with tutors and responding to the relevant critique i had. Next time i would try to allocate my time and set up my documents better so that i could change things faster.
