Sometimes the real challenge of a design is finding a way to print it within your budget. For this Baptist College job, I spent at least as much time on figuring out the quote and die lines as I did the design. By brainstorming with my vendor, not only did we solve the design goals but we created an affordable solution that reduced the production costs. By quoting the project first, I saved time by not creating designs would later turn out to be too costly for our budget and need to be revised.

The finished piece is a self-mailing pocket folder that can hold a letter from the admissions team and additional information for the student.
