Now the boards are complete, I can see how they have turned out. First, the print quality is good and adequate for the exhibition, but has some vertical lines down the print. This may be due to the material that the baords were printed on. This was the cheapest option we had (at around £19 per board) which meant the image was printed straight to the board rather than being printed onto a vinyl sticker and then stuck to a board. There is not enough time to sort this issue before Monday. The print issue is not noticable at a medium distance so it is acceptable, but perhaps not good enough for the amount paid.
Another point made was that the text is perhaps too small. The text size had been scaled down quite a few times during the design process. This was due to a lot of people in the group refusing to cut down on the amount of text they were supplying. This resulted in smaller text than I had initially wanted.
The stripe lines up really well and creates a good flow across the boards giving them unity. Text is clear and legible over the background.
The logo from the print company does not suit the colour scheme. However, it was faded out and made small to provide as little distraction as possible. The reason we were stuck with the print company is because some members of the group were not happy paying for the more expensive, higher quality option.
Overall, while there are a few minor issues, I am satisfied with how the boards look and I think they will look good all together placed in the Mezzanine.
