Cards & Boxes!

Postcard Boxes


This Friday i was given a new task, and that was to make a postcard box so that i could choose eight photos out of all of the ones I've done throughout year 10 and put them into the box. The hole point of this was to make everything so that it was like i was selling it in real life.
  I had to make something which had to go at the bottom of my postcard box which said what the postcards inside the box represent and i put small photos of the postcards inside the box so the people who was reading the back knew what was inside.
  Inside of the box i had to make a postcard to put on top of my photos which was all about me and i put a picture of myself on there too. 
  We had to make the boxes ourselves from scratch but we had someone there to help us make it, we used paper first to practice on and then we did the real thing on cardboard paper. I was the fastest in the class at making mine and i think mines was the neatest as well. i chose the colours green and yellow as my two colours of the box because i think those two represented nature the best. 
  When we had chosen our final eight pictures we gave them to the technician so he could print them out on nice paper. when i had to cut them i had to make sure every single one was the same size which i found really hard at first because i couldn't get it to be even.
  when i had made my box and finished cutting my cards, i thought it  would be nice to put some tissue paper inside of it to give it some effect for when someone opens the box.
  We also had to do some box research on different types of boxes, and what were the disadvantages or advantages of them. e.g selling, look, weight and price. 
  We all had to write a questionairre pretending we was giving these out to people. It had questions like, would you buy this box? do you like the theme? do you like the colour scheme etc.
