cellophane packaging
We decided to just use normal folding cards. to make them commercially viable and put them in cellophane bags you can pick up from staples/paper chase. this meant a lot less work and you could actaully kind of see it working in a shop shelf.
More AR testing
This was my first trial run of a card. I produced a rip tab packaging mainly as a bit of aesthetic and to produce a different greetings card seeing as we were producing an augmented range so i kind of went all out. But After producing this I kind of feel a simpler packing for the cards would probably look more commercially suitable instead of some paper craft card.
Inside card. Dan has managed to Code the image of the space invaders to work as a tracking code so we wouldnt need a QR code.
We then just used a conventional augmented app to run our content off while testing. Dan followed on by building my flat space invader image 3-dimensionally in Mia and set it to track to my flat printed image.

UK Greetings Card tests
I had the idea of making some type and breaking it up across 2 layers. then with the augmented software lifting the blue layer up by a couple of millimetres so it would be kind of readable until you hover straight over it and then it would make it clear.
To say the least we didnt attempt this design as I didnt like it and didn't want to make a greetings card out of it. would of been too much work testing it for something we knew would be simple enough to work but waste so much time to test.

Some general notes and brand idea's of where to take the brief and expand it past just greetings cards

Jake Logo shape development
Some idea's and drawings of what I wanted the shape to look like. I could also show this to jake and get him to visualise what he would be having to make a few weeks down the line.
The feedback he gave me about putting the piece into the dovetail was that it would ruin the integrity of the furniture so he suggested that we rather just place it ontop or carve a place for it to sit onto of his furniture.
Graphic Notebooks Stock
For the inside stock of the notebooks we wanted really good stock for pencil drawings. None of the standard white paper we could find were good enough, either way too thin or just had a coated feeling to it. We found the perfect paper in Fred aldous and decided to buy a A2 pad of it which should have more then enough for all our books and seeing as everything we made was a cut down from A3 smaller we knew we had a big enough size. There is no substituting drawing paper.
UK greetings Stock
Some suggested stocks we picked to use for the range of cards. All really nice soft tones should fit across a range nicely. At 270gsm aswell so should be sturdy enough to stand up right.
UK greetings Augmented Tests
Obviously we had to test our designs to see what they would look like on a phone and played around a bit using simple QR codes using augmented text we set up on a matioa server.
Graphic Notebooks
More planning Sheets. The reason for these sheets are to give me an exact outline of all the specifications needed to construct a book i've been designing. So while Me and marty are busy on other projects and we come back to ours at a later date we know exactly whats going on.
