final design

The final outcome is limited by the plastic sleeve as they created more problems than you would initially think because the sleeves started peeling off with any contact with other plastic materials, so when they were gathered together in the print room over half of them had already been destroyed. There were some salvageable so it could have been worse. 

The opacity of the screen print was something that was a problem, but it sorts of works because it is not so see-through as you would have thought. The only other option was to print it on acetate paper but printing it on that would mean that the folding might ruin the entire design. So, the final decision was to have it not be perfect, something that relates to the way that people see Norway. Everyone thinks that it is one of the best places to live, but in reality, it is judgemental and not a place that allows success. With the end result of the design it looks like it tries to be perfect but just never is, it is a bit worn out and tired. That fits within the genre as nothing within the Norwegian rap genre is supposed to be portrayed as perfect. 

The alignment with the front cover became a problem, there were some that were better aligned but they were ruined while drying. so there was no way of using them. 

The design could be improved by having a sleeve without scratches and one that did not have to be glued together with another. The design in itself should probably have been perfectly aligned as the text is not completely straight on the sleeve. The inner sleeve works quite well as the appearance was easier to work with. The design itself could do with some more variation as there could have been a different print on the second layer instead of the blue layer. The idea to have the outer sleeve with just a white box with the text would have been something that could have been interesting. As to not completely hide the design as the opacity did not within favor of the design. The idea that there could be more experimentation within layout has also some to me, and the idea of doing something in more of a 3D style. In order not to have the design as a flat.

in order to make the screenprint a bit easier the design could have been inverted, to that there would be less surface that could be damaged during the drying prosess. The design could easielyer to align as it would not tbe a whole side.
