Week 3.2 Visual System Developments
Lashings At the interim presentation, I received feedback stating that Lashings was a better design than Midnight Espresso, so I have decided to develop this one further so that I can get it right and then produce the other two destinations following the same style to allow for a successful connection throughout the visual system….
Week 3.2 Category Spread Developments

Week 3.2 Interim Presentation Feedback
Feedback from the Class Which design direction do you think is most successful and why? Lashings Lashings works really well, colour is cool. The collages are amazing, colours are beautiful!
