Wrapping up "Celebrate"

I spent a day at the beginning of the week fixing up a couple issues with my grid in my brand essence book and trying some variations on my image spreads. I want to keep going and try some more out, but I decided to walk away from it for now and my plan was to re-visit it toward the end of the week. Well, I am at the end of the week now and I am so far into refining my programs that I am finding it hard to pry myself away from them. Maybe tomorrow....

I went buck nutty on my "celebrate" program this week and it is almost done. I am designing elements for the " Fall Harvest Celebration", which includes a poster, invite, ticket, promotional CD and coloring book for edible art. Of course, I only had a few elements to begin with but it seems to be a trend that I keep making more work for myself as I go along. I can't help it though. I think adding the CD and line art for edible art is perfect to round out the program.

Tonight I plan to experiment with staining wood so I can see how to decorate the ticket for the celebration event. The ticket is a branded plate with utensils packaged in a wooden box, that guests would use to eat with at the event. I want to see if I can get the leaf texture stained into the wood by layering it around the negative space. I have some different leafs to cut out, tape onto the box and stain around. Fingers crossed it looks as good as what is in my head.


Tomorrow I plan to move onto refining the "Eat" program, which is the part of city farm that is a food court. I need to refine the menu and tables, and then begin the serving trays and take out packaging. 

I will have to wait till next week to refine the "educate" program, which is a monster of its own. I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this thesis, but I don't care. I am having a lot of fun with it and so far, it is coming out awesome!

Good thing I have tomorrow off of work because I need to find some time to work on my other classes assignments. Coffee consumption is in my future.
