DESIGN SPECIFICS
You’ll need access to Photoshop or an equivalent programme to open the .PSD template.

Once opened - each product is split into a folder, if you put your design in the “ARTWORK HERE” layer, it will create the mock up of that product for you. Please do not alter the layout of the flatlay.

Initial Ideas

The design is going to be featured for the month of October so I am going to look at all things to do with that month before deciding what kind of design route I will take. 

A list of recognised days around the world that take place during October. There are a few that would be fun to illustrate and design. Out of the lot I would be most intrigued by World Ballet Day and World Vegetarian Day.

I am also thinking about the time of year that is October:

  • Autumn
  • Halloween
  • Holy Rosary (in catholic church)
  • Black History Month
