PDP

As I am a part time degree student, I will not be participating in the exhibition this term.  However, the promotional material will need to be produced as part of the PDP final brief.

As the promotional material needs to be produced for the PDP presentation will not need to be large amounts I will produce the promotional material myself.  This will reduced the cost for this term and allow changes to be made for next term’s final exhibition.

Visit to the Falkirk Learning Resource Centre

The business cards required computer technical procedure to get the correct template measures to match the business card format. 

I was very grateful for the help from the Falkirk LRC who kindly assisted with the Business Card procedure.  After a couple colour prints on to the business card I achieved limited success with 2 cards out of 10.

Who knew a business card was so tricky to print off?

Review of the business card

The review of the business card increased the font size of the telephone and e-mail address. 

The changed business card printed onto the template card was equally difficult and the numbers of business cards produced were equally limited.    

The lesson learnt is that for next term’s exhibition I will be acquiring the business cards from a printer. 

The stationery for the promotional material was easier to produce on quality photocopying paper.

The colour photocopier printed off A4 imagery for small portfolio cut to size.
