REVIEWA constrained budget really dictated the entire project.

Coming up with different layout options to al low for maximum quantites of resource production was a challenge but lead to a compact versati le resource being produced.

Previously a printed canvas option had been used for the Deadly Shots exhibit ion. This time around a cost effective alternate was found.

Images were printed on Gyclee paper, mounted on card with a low-cost frame. The visual impact of the frames created a professional feel to the prints which impressed both the young photographers and exhibit ion attendees.

The exhibit ion booklet eventually had to be printed outside the bulk printing of the resource and with an alternate print company due to timing for the exhibit ion. This meant the booklet came in over budget.

Although the price did increase a quality booklet was produced which added to the professional feel of the exhibit ion and the overall success of the launch. Going with an A5 size option also kept the booklet closer to budget.
