After much anticipation and suspense, the magazine did finally arrive from Pressision on the 12th. It is printed on 90 GSM gloss stock, with a 150 GSM laminated gloss cover, perfect bound. These elements create a high quality finish which I would be expecting for the price, and which suits the aims of the brief.
The colour was extremely important to the project and the main reason why I needed to use professional printing services. The colour turned out extremely well and is probably the main success of the product. The fluro pink is part of the project's solid identity, and needed to be as bright as possible.
A problem I have faced is that due to the magazine arriving late towards the deadline, there is no time to take professional photos of it, but this can be done properly after the hand in.
Overall I am extremely pleased with the result of this project, however it was definitely costly, but necessary. This piece can be used within my portfolio in the future, and also hopefully taken forward and explored further after university.
