So, the development of my second idea came from looking at many images online of the letterpress blocks and I decided I would like to incorporate those blocks into my actual design. After doing my experiment with the potato blocks, I feel that this approach was much more appropriate and clean cut - which is what I like in my designs.
(1) Firstly, I went around a simple letterpress block on Illustrator using the pen tool, this didn't take very long.
(2) My next step was to create the letters that I wanted to use. I decided that I was going to use the first line of the part of information I was given for the compulsory text I had to put on the back. I thought that the most effective way I could show this is to use both 'prints' and the letterpress blocks.
(3) This is a screen shot of what I feel is my final. I am pleased with the outcome for this because I think the small strikes of colour that I have put in really make it that slightly more eye catching. Also the letterpress blocks make it more interesting, showing that the history goes back to the start of letterpress.
