About Bon
Bon is for people who like their fashion and culture to be intelligent and informed. We’re driven by the desire to understand, whether that is through an interview, analysis, photography or styling. Our view is that fashion and culture shouldn’t be clichéd or superficial (unless that is the aim, of course). Instead, we look for the nuanced and the dynamic, we strive to be sophisticated and smart. Why? Because we think we all deserve it. And this is why you will enjoy Bon – like us, you want to be part of a knowledgeable conversation.

Module Evaluation
MODULE EVALUATION
1. What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?
I have developed the skills to self evaluate my self at a high standard taking a look at my design presence and gaining the ability define my self as a person and where I want to go in the future.I have further developed my skills working as part of a group. Especially when setting up the small business I gained ability to work with like-minded people researching and organising our business to a professional standard.
2. What approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?
A weakness of mine would possibly be having a limited role within the group as I was in charge of the aesthetics and colour choices I think I didn’t really get an insight into much of the money side as I would of liked. I will change this in the future even when the roles are split evenly I will make a point of looking at everyone’s research thoroughly to gain a better understanding of our group work as a whole.Another weakness possibly not setting aside enough time as a I would of liked and I would of liked to produce more mock ups to help my work be more accurate.
5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?

2. What approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?
I have definitely developed my design presence making sure I have thoroughly researched in to existing branding and self-branding to gain a wider knowledge of what collateral people have and they style they produce them in. I have tried a different binding method I haven’t used before it worked successfully. I also have researched and used different colour schemes I usually go for but work to represent me as a designer.
3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
Being very involved within the group and setting up meetings also making sure I document all of the decisions and work we did. Another strength would be my ability to make quick design decisions when producing my small booklet for the pack I needed to make the size and weight appropriate for the binding method I had chosen I feel like I did this successfully.
4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?

5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
- Manage my time better so I can achieve a higher quality of work in a shorter time.
- Proof read thoroughly to avoid spelling mistakes or any spacing.
- Research even further to gain a wider range of information and sources; I expect this will help my design decisions and elements within group work.
- I will make sure I research into more studios appropriate to my design practice.
- Make more mock-ups this will help me have more variation with my work and make it more precise.
Promotional Pack - Photography
PROMOTIONAL PACK PHOTOGRAPHY
When finishing designing my PPP promotional pack i decided it would be appropriate to photograph it properly in the studio. I want to also use the images for my behance so other creatives can see what my design presence is all about. I also will give my business cards to people when visiting studios I'm really pleased with my promotional pack and think it reflects me.

Promotional Pack - Final Touches
PROMOTIONAL PACK FINIAL TOUCHES
As soon as i had cut out my publication i then was ready to try my new binding method using a small screw to place in the top corner allowing my booklet to move around and the pages would turn 360 degrees. I didnt want to ruin my booklet so i decided to get some of the same stock i used and get the same amount of sheets which were 18 pages and stack them. I clamped them with a bulldog click and used the hole punch to create a hole.
I wanted to make sure the hole punch was strong enough before i used it on my actual booklet. It was successful and I'm glad i tested this method.
As i had all my printed collateral printed out and cut up i next needed to stick vinyl stickers to the envelope and my post card.
Using and A3 piece of paper with my pattern on it i cut sections up and wrapped them around a rubber and a sketch pad.
I Finally decided to make an A4 folder using the same stock as the rest of my work. The folder has been designed to have an open side so i can close it neatly with a bulldog clip and all my work will slip in the bottom.
