Final Project

The purpose of the project is to design something with a fold in it so what we are making is not just a simple flat surface.  What I have decided to do is design video game themed disc golfs that come in a box themed around the characters inside of it.  The box will come with two discs each.  The range of the disc inside depends on the order (driver, mid-distance, or putter).

The two target audiences for this project are disc golfers and gamers.  Gamers may be more likely to pick up disc golf if their favorite video game character is somehow incorporated into the design.  So with that in mind, the call to action is to buy and use these special discs.  Who wouldn't want a Mario inspired disc to help nail a long drive?

The specs is where it gets a little tricky for me. The space to contain the discs needs to be about 8.5 in across to fit the whole thing comfortably and the depth needs to be about 1.25 in to fit both discs on top of each other.  So the length of the box front and back is 8.5 but with the flaps added on it will be 20.75 in long and then each side will be 11 inches.  The bleed will be .125 as usual and the margins will be .25 on the actual layout.  To design the disc is one whole different monster.  It is a simple circle about 8.125 in in diameter all around so I just need to make some designs that will fill up that area for two discs.

I received a price quote, but I forgot to write it down before I turned it in to you.  I believe the price quote for a thousand of the box prints was $450.  The price quote for a thousand of the vinyl sticker prints was $350 for each one.  This isn't adding in the cost of a disc which would hike the cost up considerably.  The cheapest I found for buying the discs in bulk for a thousand was close to $4500.

All images were created by me with the exception of the green pipe and disc golf goal which I acquired for free use from Open Clip Art Library.  The fonts were all acquired for free use from dafont.com.

I am pleased with how the design turned out overall, especially the discs.  I used a COB raster on this project which completed all of my requirements on the master image list.
