The little details are key to making my image look as professional as possible. However its very time consuming.
This works best so far. Ive used a green and red spot colour which i think makes the image stand out more, its extremely bright and stands out. The problem im going to have is if i want to keep with only two spot colours im going to have to design with two complimentary colours which could look like a disaster.
This image is clearer from the background but its not very clear that ive used two colours, still seems rather flat to look at. I think complimentary colours could work better.
A problem with using spot colours is the blend between foreground and background which leaves no depth to the image but also doesnt make it clear or show enough detail.
Id like to use only two spot colours in my design, considering the cost this will make the production cheaper instead of using full colour cmyk. I want to be able to use colour and my photos to communicate anger but with a hint of humor rather then making it too serious. Ive started trying to do this as can be seen in the picture above. Whilst playing with the spot colours its hard to keep the detail of the face.
For my packaging for what is good im going to design onto the packaging above. My concept is boxing is good because its an anger outlet. Im going to target everyone that is angry or is stressed, so this will target mainly students onwards, children dont tend to be as stressed as adults. However even though this is for adults i think it will have a humerous side to it. After all my aim is to release the stress and anger. My packaging will contain gloves, wraps and a leaflet to inform the buyer how to use the equipment.

Using the 5 columns as a guide we are able to start making the text more visually interesting by changing the layout of the page. Something i need to develop further.
