#creative platforms

Tumblr has always been a liminal space—half social network, half mythic archive. Posts linger like dormant shrines until a single reblog sparks them into life, summoning creative swarms. Unlike platforms built on likes and fleeting trends, Tumblr thrives on reuse, remix, and re‑imagination. It is a commons for myth‑makers.

To hand in I decided to present all my material in a box, painted it black and printed a template in the same front used throughout my work on the CV and business cards, this kept the constancy throughout the project.

I used the and printed it out to say ‘Laura Faulds, Creative Producer’ and re-wrote this onto the inside of the box. After this I then did the same onto the front of the box to say my UP number and the unit name, using the same stripes as the business cards. 

following this I filled it with my material and it was ready hand in!

With the CD design printed, I then had to place it carefully onto the CD, trying to fit the edges without showing too much of the CD below:

I had many failed attempts at printing the design into the correct position on the CD label, after many adjustments it finally had the correct position, as seen below the print was out of line and missed the label, as well as printing onto the wrong side of he paper and printing with the template.

In order to print onto my CD I need to download a template, this is so the design could be printed and placed onto the CD once the showreel was burnt onto the disc.

Initially I thought that I would have the CD’s laser printed but this proved hard to to, first going to Mailboxes and then Staples and being advised the best way to have my design on my CD would be to print onto labels and place on after burning the files. I decided to use this advice and so to do this I bought CD/DVD labels from WHS, downloaded a template and placed my design into the document, I printed this multiple times adjusting the template as I went along until it fitted exactly how I wanted onto the labels. I then decided it would be best to burn my showreel onto the disc and then place the label on after.

To print the design I first kept the templates on to see where adjustments were needed and when it was clear I removed them so they would not be printed/visible on the final CD cover.

My showreel can now be found online on my portfolio website via the vimeo link in the ‘projects’ sections.
