Box production
This is the final stages of the production of my poster box. It is all finished now, and i actually managed to help which was good! It works so well, and all the posters fit within it, the next stage is to varnish it and then finish the posters to put in. I want to create a bell band to wrap around and a publication to go along side which will tell the person what each poster is, how it was made and why.

I managed to start manufacturing my box for my posters. This was really exciting, because i haven't done anything like this before, and being able to see something come from nothing is brilliant. I wasn't allowed to use all the big machinery because unfortunately I'm too small.. Which isn't great but i did get to help out here and there!
We managed to get the frame of the box together and glued, and tonight I have to go pick up some hinges for the lid. Tomorrow will be a case of putting the lid and finishing it, as in sanding and varnishing, if i choose to varnish. I think i will because at the moment it looks untreated and a little cheap.

Poster packaging
I have done some research into ideas for the packaging of my posters, I knew that i wanted it to be box shaped, and that it needed to fit all the different a2 posters that I have created.
It's really important to me that it is of high quality, and has the handmade finish that the other posters I have done have. I need to do this to also tie in the posters and packaging, so that they all work together as a set.
So, i came up with the idea of creating a hand crafter box that would hold the posters. Now, i wasn't sure about the best way to go about this, because i needed to fact run how long it would take to make a box.
I went down to Woodwork, and had a really good chat with Matt Parks, he told me that it would take put o an hour and a half to create the box. Once done, adding joining etc and varnishing, if i choose too, would add another hour and half so essentially half a day.
This is brilliant because i thought it would take FOREVER!
So this is the avenue i am going to go down in order to create my packaging. I have done the appropriate measurements so that the box will fit all the posters.
