Originally before christmas 'Meantime' was one of the briefs I submitted to be fully complete, however when I went to print them I was completely disappointed with the printed version. I thought the stock was wrong, certain photographs were pixilated due to clipping masks and I wasn't happy with the back sleeve design. In terms of correcting the pixilation I decided to change the sleeve nets to 7" ones, this is because most of the photographs were taken on an old film camera and so the quality is effected when rescaling the image.

amendments:
In terms of editing the designs to fit appropriately for print, I decided to add a background colour for the nets as it looked too plain when printed the first time. Since coming back to the brief I have screen printed some tee shirts with the bands logo on. This is another thing I had to change, the original logo was made with scanned textured paper, which is impossible to get through screen printing. For the screen printed tee shirts the logo is in black, I then amended the sleeve designs so that it fit with the tee shirts, keeping the design more consistent.

new designs: I thought the original design looked better at first, I thought the colour scheme fit more with the general designs of each sleeve, however as it wasn't vector based I found that this would be quite hard to transfer onto things, especially products like bags and tee shirts. In the end I also thought the black logo worked better amongst the range of sleeve designs.
new nets:
These are the new nets designed to allow the sleeves to print without it being a problem, Im still slightly concerned about the 'blinded' sleeve as the quality of the main photo in this one is not as good as the rest even on screen, however when looking at it on screen in 'actual size' I think I might be able to get away with it.
I have also redesigned the back of the sleeves, they now look more consistent as a set of sleeves and also look less cluttered.
