Missive's Customers
Hey Guys ...
This is my picture of what our customers are going to be.
Im thinking Missive's customers will be someone who has a steady career and loves the idea of having practicality but at the same time not compromising the style and still follow fashion trend.
She is probably someone who prefers classic styles more than something outrages but also enjoys a touch of modernity.
She is can be someone with a career or even students with budget as our basic ranges will provide fantastic support but affordable and good quality
She enjoys her quite time, unwinding in her favourite lingerie at home, enjoying quality , comfortable fabric as well as feeling attractive herself.
Soo thats mine .. , what do u guys think ?

Swing Peek
Hey everyone,
I jumped on the laser last night and cut us a swingtag. Note that I have to adjust my linework because the material cant hold the fineness of lines in the way I want, so its not awesome. The scan is pretty bad too, you need to see it in real life, its cut out where the white is.
It took me a while to create an inverted version of our logo by tracing the negative space in the original, I call this version 'missive lace' instead of 'missive logo'.
Okay, so I havent run through with you how to put files up onto our blog, which I dont think I need to do because we have email and see each other often. Seeing as its the weekend, and Its not something you all need and is more something for your curiosity, Im going to share something here directly.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6YS14VJC
WHAT TO DO:
~Click the above link
~Enter the letters it asks for, and then wait 40 seconds on the next page for the download button to become active.
~Click the download button, and select to save the file to your computer
and there! You have my illustrator lace file for your viewing pleasure! This method of sending things is like a photobucket account, you upload the file and then you can link people to that file to download it.
Below is the swing by the way, I forgot to pop out some bits, and theres a "12B" mini tag to go with it like the elle line (but a cooler shape) but that failed a little too ^_^

Swings
Hey guys,
I have been messing around with illustrator today, figuring out some odds and ends to do with presentation, packaging and marketing before things get too hectic to breathe.
Domenica and I learned to use the lazer cutter a week ago and it's worked out really well, Im hoping what I've been working on will come out nicely for the group and that you all like it!
I didnt get down to the printer today, but I did draft a pattern to go onto tissue paper for our brand, and also looked into ashle's hopes for an envelope, I did a mockup and then researched this site which I think will be very helpful if we definitely want to go ahead with the envelope/catalogue idea. Its quite scientific for the idea of what components a simple envelope is made from, but its interesting none the less! CLICK
I also sent an enquiry to a packaging place about purchases and minimums so that we might even be able to have a visual for packaging in assesment, but I think its likely to fall through. Still giving it a go for now though!

Sneak Peek + The booklet
So for the booklet, we discussed how it was to be put together and we've sorted it mostly out. I know you werent with us ashlee that day in studio so I thought I'd recap it and get some comment or any additional ideas as far as the booklet goes.
Put simply we thought the structure should be:
Who? Mission statement, what missive is and what the label embodies and other things fall into this first section.
What? What missive is offering for autumn winter '10, the range plans, drops, colour ways and theme boards. We're thinking about a fold out style for these sections for each designer in our company.
Why? The target customer, why the range is presented in this manner, and marketing all fall under this I believe.
Domenica and I have learned how to use the lazer cutter and have had our fingerprints put into the system so we can log in at any time. We have pooled some fun ideas about the cover with respect to this, but you guys already have an idea of what it is.
Good to see the theme boards, I think sharing these are integral to the booklet, because the cohesion is important. I have the base down for mine, there's a lot of symbolism within it for my theme, and the colour pallette is yet to be added. However theres a LOT in it that isnt seen via a first glance so do have a look into it by clicking it and opening full size!

Fabrics
Hey Team!
ok so its monday 12.30, i hope thats good for everyone?
we should meet at a station and do the further adventures first.
we should meet at the clock at melbourne central and go from there.
i will bring a copy of our palette and it would be good if everyone brings a list of what they need like nude stretch, black mesh, purple trim etc.
and im hoping we can get the fastenings and straps as well.
i spoke to a freelance designer who mentioned a few good places to get stretch fabrics that we will go to.
hope everyone's having a great weekend!
Ash xoxo

Decision Time
Hey Team!
Ok so Anthony, Dom and I were talking and there are some serious decisions we need to make so we can begin to make our hero pieces.
Firstly the logo.....We think it should be just left as the original and I must say I am quite attached to it now hahahaha.....but if anyone thinks otherwise please say so.
Then once this is decided we can produce swing tags for our pieces.
Also if everyone can bring a copy of there specification and costs sheets to friday's class we can discuss who's to use so that in the coming weeks when we have to do them it wont be a problem.
We should also bring our copies of our reports and designs for our ranges to compare and see how everyone is meshing together. Then we can combine the report into a briefer format perhaps and post it on the blog with the video?????
Toodles! See you on Friday!
Ash

The Photo Research
Hey Team!
Good question about the copyright thing Anthony, I think we'll be ok because its market research not design research, but if you're nervous i'll take them off, they took me ages to upload and the Rmit site wont let me upload anything>>>>so take them while you can!
Also, Holly my love, is there any way we can get that movie image thing up the top of the blog? i have some images to send you to add to it!
Much Love

Secret Admirer
HELOOO guyss... Happy Easter , soonish .. hehhee
I've created drafts of my "Secret Admirer" theme board, tell me what u guys think ...
The problem is..., it looks fine when its small but if its enlarged to A3 which Im guessing the format we have to do it in, some images are fine but some are quite pixelated.
Any suggestion ?
Owwww and for the next time , I think when we post our theme board we shouldn't say which one is which so that we all can guess each other's board. So then we can put ourselves into other people's eyes and make sure our board relates to our story.
What do u guys think ? :-)

Logo new version. hh
i played with this logo in different colours and as anthony suggested beige worked well with the back ground colours. it looked much better in gradation colour range within beige rather than in one colour. i think the font missive doesn't match to the stroke that i used... what do you guys think...?
