Within a tutorial with Helen she mentioned i could expand my ideas by creating more birthday themed products. One of these things that she mentioned was a birthday banner. I think a birthday banner would suit my target market as they are still at an age of having birthday parties.
To create the banner i used my monster font and then placed it on a 100cm x 20cm template in illustrator. When looking at other products similar to this on the market this is around the standard size. I decided to use a black background for this design to really help the colours stand out.
I have decided not to have this printed for the assessment; however, will do if it is within my feedback for the summative assessment. Classic examples of banners are often printed onto a plastic and then have a shiny finish. I would like my product to have this shiny finish; however, be printed onto a paper based substrate so it can be recycled.
