Week 12 Finalising

We finalised our websites, poster and flyer to a finished state and handed them in. We were quite happy with the final result which reflected our concept really well.

Week 11 Developments

We developed the poster to a nearly final state as well as developing the website and starting the mobile versions. We also had a critic where we presented everything we had so far and talked it all over so we could improve our ideas further.

Week 10 Website Concept

We worked on the concepts for the website and the development of the poster as well as a few basic ideas for the flyer which in the end were scraped.
