After creating illustrations based off each of the 11 items, i have applied these to the post cards along with the potic-notes and adjusting the colours and slight variations on the layouts.
I believe the post-cards work well i communicating the life of a first year, the environment they live in and what they value spending money on. I wanted to ensure the post-cards were playful and fun and so this is why they're quite illustrative and handmade almost, a clean cut postcard with straight lines and digital type just wouldn't of worked for the humorous personality i was intending to communicate.
What i think is most successful about the series of 11 post-cards is the fact that all the images were shot in different rooms with different lighting, yet they all look visually cohesive despite their differences, i think the main reason for them being so successful is due to the head. It draws the viewers attention, sparks humour and is unexpected, something you don't normally get from a postcard. I also think the post-card idea was a good approach as the whole message of the project is able to be communicated without it seeming forced, something which i don't think i would of been able to achieve with creating a zine, as i originally intended.
The postcards will be printed on a thick newspaper print and will be double sided, newspaper print was chosen as it's very cheap; therefore relating the the message of the postcard, being that money is tight.
