Graphic Stand Construction

I have not posted a blog update in a couple of days, however – this does not mean that I have been unproductive in that time – quite the opposite. The last week has been very hectic for me, finishing off bits of promotion, for example making small changes such as positioning and alignment to perfect the document.

I have also been concentrating on Lancabot, considering how best to implement him into the final stand to give him the credit he deserves as a main force in promotion. I therefore conducted an indoor photoshoot with Lancabot, and also included the production design so that the person viewing the board had an idea that the costume was to human scale and not a cuddly toy – like The Cell Crew.

My board format works well as the Lancabot head, arms and feet are within the margins of the board, this therefore acts as a header, footer and borders. I have literally just finished putting my board together, and am now waiting until the submission of the graphic stand .This is such a nerve-wracking moment, mostly due to the large scale of the stand – if there are any mistakes these will be very obvious.
Today I also had a photoshoot with Lancabot for the Lancashire Evening Post. I am very excited to see this printed, as this is a form of press for the Lancashire Science Festival, an example of PR, which is effectively free marketing within the local community of newsreaders.

What next? After the submission of this graphic stand tomorrow I will concentrate firstly on my development work within my sketchbook, as I believe I can get this completed within three days, leaving me with a full week to get my boards completed. These boards will be simply, as I am keeping the same consistent look and feel of my campaign as generated by the graphic stand, therefore I may continue using the header, footer and border combination.

I will also ensure that all entries for this timelot are printed to successfully document my time management. At present I feel very confident about the outcome of this campaign.
