OUGD504: Design Production - Design For Print and Web: Envelope

When designing and producing envelopes I need to consider:

• In order to reiterate the high quality of the institution, the letters and correspondence they send will be sent in hand-crafted, specially made envelopes.
• It is imperative that whilst keeping to the visual design I have created for the institute that the envelopes also stand out next to the vast amount of other envelopes that will come through their door.
• As well as the logo and/or icon which represents the institution the envelope will also need to include a return address for practical reasons.
• The envelopes will be hand crafted from square paper, around 30 mm x 30 mm in order to taccommodate a A4 piece of paper.

One of the main things I need to take into consideration when designing an envelope for the institute is that the design will need to stand out in some way in order to differentiate it from the vast amount of envelopes that come through peoples door, as well as in-keeping with the standard of the institute. To achieve this I sought inspiration from previous designs which have used factors such as stock to create revolutionary design.

In order to give a sense of continuity throughout all the printed products I will design and produce for the institute I felt it was appropriate to keep the design for the envelope quite minimalistic, instead using the stock I will print onto in order to create an eye-catching design.
