Direct Mailer Project

By Anis Kuzmis

This is my Direct Mailer project i finished for my graphic design class. For this project i was supposed to create a piece of mail that we could send out. We had a couple of different themes we could choose from. I chose to do the “Sounds of the Season” music theme. When i first started to work on this project i looked up some ideas of direct mailers that are sent out to people and had a hard time figuring out what exactly i wanted to do. So i ended up trying to create something interesting myself. I wasn’t a huge fan of my ideas at first because i tried to incorporate a USB flash drive with my project and i thought about it in a way that if it was to get mass produced that would be too expansive.

I went with a little bit of a cheaper route. I decided to add music onto my CD, If you look through this file and follow my steps of how i did everything you will realize that the CD would be the best idea for this project. Follow me as i explain to you how i created everything and how i made a fresh new idea stand out in a completely new way!

I first started out by gathering some examples and ideas. I was trying to find something new and creative!

After i came up with some ideas i tried to make my own examples of what i wanted to do.

I soon realized that i really like this form and that i am going to create it into my final project.

Then i added some information and some color to it! After another week of having it critiqued by my classmates i changed up a few things and ended up with my final design.

I can honestly say i learned a lot from this project. I realized how important it is to create mockups and look for new ideas. I wanted to make something that would stand out and be unique. I think i accomplished that with this project. I spent a long time working on it and trying to get it perfect, Thank you for following along as i showed how i started with a simple idea and made it into something that in my eyes was perfect.
