System Applications

My ideas for my system application are as follows:

-Mock website explaining what the company is, sign up opportunities, tracking your kids/map, etc.

-Kiddypool Membership kit including 2 t-shirts (one for parent, one for kid), a Kiddy-Approved bumper sticker, and a key chain.

-Magnet for Kiddy-Approved vehicles, volunteers would put these on their car so kids would be aware of what vehicle to get into.

If anyone has any ideas on what the membership kit packaging would be that would be great. I'd like to get a little creative with that one and thats the application I am currently leaning towards.

Final Business System

Hey Everyone-

So I'm all done with my business system...for now. Overall, I'm fairly pleased with how everything turned out. I had a lot of issues with printing and had to revise and revise so it would print out correctly/how I wanted it to look on paper. I know there were a lot of contemplation about how/if my frog/car illustrations and leaf/collage background meshed well together, but I ended up liking the aesthetic of the collage for a couple reasons. To me a collage represents scrapbooking, which could be a very good relationship for parents viewing my mailer. They could relate it to a very friendly and recognizable hobby as well as realizing its a company built with trust. Also, the bright colors are very energetic, which worked well with my characters. I'm anxious to hear what people have to say during critique. Well, that's all for now...take a look and see ya tomorrow morning!

Need more comments! Made some changes!

Hey everyone- I took your comments into consideration (as well as Angie's) and made some changes. If you have any suggestions on what I could do to improve this it would help a ton. Thanks! I decided to stick with a more fun approach vs. super professional.

NEED COMMENTS!

Okay! So I've decided to stick with a mailer for my business system. The top image would essentially be the front of the mailer, and then the other side would be the back. It would be held together with a sticker, and then on the inside it would have sign up information, as well as what the company is, what it does, what its main goal is, etc. If you have ANY COMMENTS please give me them. I have no idea what to do and am pressed for time (as we all are!)

letterhead/business card/envelope roughs

Okay! Soooo here are my roughs! I was originally thinking of doing a mailer and some other things to incorporate in place of a traditional letterhead/business card/envelope, but I changed muh mind! I decided that since the parents are the ones recieving the letters it should look professional. And what more professional than a letterhead? I haven't completely ignored the idea of the mailer, but I figured that could be incorporated somehow into information that will be recieved after you sign up for the Kiddy Pool program.

Sooooo after printing the car roughs, and mocking them up, I have already found some changes I need to make! On the business card, I've realized that less is more. I need to make the car smaller, or wayyy more transparent so the car isn't distracting from the logo. Also, on the envelope there are definitely some issues when it is put together. I couldn't wrap my head around how this all worked! If you have any comments or ideas on what to do on any of these let me knowwwww!

I'm liking my frog mock-ups a little bit more, but these won't be used until parents are familiar with the program. Maybe that's something to consider when making the mailers and such. Just an idea that came across. If you have any comments or ideas they are greatly appreciated!

Oh! and just a heads up! All of these are printed on a textured cream paper...so it definitely has a different aesthetic appeal when they're mocked up versus on a digital file! Just putting that out thurr.
