Looking back at square designs and the dimensions they would need to be
I decided on 170mm height and 150mm width as researching into card companies such as 'Clinton Cards' this seemed to be the standard size of square cards.
After speaking to Eleanor she told me to scale down the image in the centre, but after my group crit people were half and half as to whether they liked the image smaller or bigger so I have been trying it out in the square composition.
Not all of them worked so I decided to make some of them bigger to ensure they work as a series
This meant I then had to edit the back of the card to the same square format
Put them both together with a 300mm width 170mm height
I had to place the design onto A3 in order to fit it in and this would mean I could print without the crop marks showing at the sides. As the card is white against white I filled the background grey so that I knew where to cut
I feel that the square is a much better format and works well for all designs. It means that the designs work more as a set too.
