Boxes!!



After deciding, that I'm going to proceed with my information pack idea, I thought I should look in to box shapes. Last year my pack was very thick and because of this, I could get away with just using quite thin card. The card I used however was the thickest A2 option I could have from the digital print from college. This year I want my pack to be bigger and stronger! This means I need to find a new type of card and look in to how I will print it. I asked Aggie to bring in her box she made for a project last year. She told my the card she used and how she made it! 

The structure holds together well and looks very professional which is what I want. She used the thick card from the library and spray mounted her printed paper on to the box. My problem is that I wanted to do a different pattern on this inside of the box to the outside, so this causes problems. Maybe I should just cover it in the same design. 

It was easy for Aggies designed paper however to overlap and not look noticeable
 but I think my design will! What do I do? Although the design worked for her, I don't think this box shape/design will be appropriate for me and it's not what I imagined in my head.

Also! I looked at the card she used and I worry that it will be too small for me to 
cut my whole box net out of. This are problems that I need to look in to solving.
