Throughout my project I considered a lot of extra pieces to add in order to create a more robust amount of work.
At one point when talking to Padraic about the project he suggested the potential for creating an entire advertising campaign, and as much as I liked the idea I knew I wouldn’t have had the time to create an advertising campaign on top of the core brochure. The only remnant of this talk is a series of posters I quickly created one night not long after this talk.
Another consideration I had was to separate the brochure out into a series of individual brochures, each concentrating on one section of the initial brochure for example, the first section which talks about culture as a single brochure, a Kanto brochure, a Hokkaido brochure, etc. I had kept this idea in the back of my head throughout the entirety of the project and hoped to implement it if I had time, but unfortunately I didn’t have the time needed to create it.
I really wished I would have had the extra time to implement some of these ideas but I knew from very early on that I shouldn’t put too much pressure on myself to create more, I would rather create one quality piece rather than a lot of half-baked ideas.
