Stickers problem

Stickers Problem

I was planning on including number stickers which I was going to make at digital print, but I think the stickers I need to make would be to small to print out on the sticker maker. So instead I decided to include a small pencil in each pack. 

Poster Style 3

Poster Style 3
This is my first design after responding to what people said in my final crit. I decided to change the colour scheme because I don't think it was eye catching enough. The white squares are where the sudoku packs are going to be roughly. 

These are my two designs for the sudoku grids, I think they will be 9 cm by 9 cm. And I will make the envelopes 10 cm by 10 cm. 

I decided to drop the opacity on the red, and make it a more brighter red, to make sure the text is readable.
I added QR codes to the top corners of my posters and also added some to the envelopes and on my business cards too.

Research: QR Codes

Research: QR Codes

I am thinking of including a QR on my poster and also on the backs of the sudoku puzzles. I've found lots of website which create the QR code for you seen here.
I will test out the QR codes using an app on my phone before printing them at digital print. 


Project Action Plan

Project Action Plan

I wrote an action plan after my crit which included a suggestion which was seeing if laser cutting my final piece would be an option, unfortunately the laser cutting is fully booked till after my deadline, so I've had to shelve that idea.

Instead I'm going to stick with a paper/card poster but change the colour scheme to red, black and white. Also possibly change the wording of my interactive sudoku poster so there are less words or back to 1/3 of people over 65 develop dementia, but with a line somewhere saying sudoku helps delay dementia. I will include my dementia awareness week logo. Then instead of having the sudoku as squares you can tear off the poster. I will create sudoku packs with number stickers, a QR code on the back which will link to a blog with more info on dementia. I will made a few so they can be hung from the poster then have open on display so people can see the contents. If I have spare time I'd like to make business cards with the logo and the QR code for people to take away.

Final Crit 07/05/13

Final Crit 07/05/13

  • Side view of brain best logo, like the jigsaw puzzle idea-combine them together?
  • Textured paper-looks weird!
  • Plain type face-helvetica is best 
  • Plain colour best 
  • Jigsaw sudoku? Laser cutter?
  • Link to blog with solution on back?
  • Use logo on poster
  • QR code? to scan-link to blog
After my crit I went to see if the laser cutter was free, but sadly it is booked up till after my deadline which rules that idea out. My back up plan is use stickers make the sudoku grid on plastic with the same poster, or same poster with an envelope containing sudoku puzzle and number stickers.
