wewow launch War On Waste campaign – Climate Week 2011

wewow have seized the opportunity to raise awareness of climate change and the positive changes that can be made if companies and individuals work together to reduce their carbon emissions and waste.

During Climate Week 2011, wewow will be launch their WOW campaign:
War On Waste

Throughout the week, wewow will be encouraging local printers and finishers to reduce the amount of waste they produce by finding innovative ways to re-use and upcycle waste materials, such as waste board from print runs.

wewow will take the lead by producing out of waste board, donated to us by a local printer, 3,000 bespoke boxes for a London-based charity.  The charity will be receiving 3,000 high-quality boxes free of charge and wewow will have successfully diverted a large amount of unwanted board from landfill!

wewow’s innovative upcycling will continue throughout the week as we endeavour innovate a number of new packaging solutions which can be produced from waste materials!

This is just the beginning of the WOW campaign as wewow will continue to promote the message of reuse, reduce, recycle throughout the year.

Using QR codes to add value to a music CD release

Add interactive, bonus content to your CD or poster by using QR codes.  This post is part of a series by wewow, helping you to optimise your CD or poster artwork using interactive QR codes.

Maximise your CD artwork and packaging

If you’ve decided to avoid printing hundreds of CD booklets to accompany your CD packaging, perhaps because of budget or environmental concerns, you may find yourself struggle to fit all the information you want onto your CD and packaging.

This is where QR codes come into play; include a QR code on your CD artwork and your fans will be able to quickly scan the barcode and get access to bonus information about the CD and the band.  This might be lyrics for the CD tracks, tour dates or even a pre-composed tweet so that your fans start to spread the word!

Make the most of your gigs

Live music is an important opportunity for you to create new fans and get them hooked on your music.  There are a number of ways that you can use QR codes to encourage your fans to interact with your band at gigs.  By printing your QR code on large posters displayed around the venue you could;

• Link a QR code to song lyrics so that your new fans can sing along.
• Allow fans to buy your latest CD or download on the spot.
• Get fans to tweet about how good the gig was!

These are just a few suggestions as to how QR codes can be used to create new fans, get your music heard and add value to your CD releases and gigs.  All you really need is a bit of creativity and the possibilities for using QR codes will be endless!

If you need a helping hand adding QR codes to your CD artwork, CD packaging or posters contact wewow and we will be happy to help with QR code generation and artwork placement.

What is a QR code?

QR codes are a fantastic way for your band to add interactivity to your EPs, albums and even to your gigs!  This is the first in a series of blogs by wewow, aiming to help you use QR codes to add value to your CD releases.

What is a QR Code?

A QR code is a matrix barcode which can be read by camera phones; some phones now come with a QR barcode reader whilst others allow you to download a special app for the job.

A QR code can contain all manner of data including;

Link to a website

Bookmark a website

Make a phone call

Send an SMS/Email

Google or Bing Map

Youtube Video

Tweet on twitter

The possibilities for using QR codes to allow your fans to interact with your CD or poster, by linking a code up to bonus content and printing it on your artwork, are endless.

QR codes are not a new phenomenon (they were invented in 1994 by Toyota subsidiary Denso-Wave), but the possibilities are yet to be fully explored by bands and musicians.  That’s why we are offering free QR code generation and artwork placement this month – just contact us to find out more! See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code for more info.

Approving artwork for CD, DVD & packaging print

Approving artwork for CD/DVD printing, paper parts and packaging is vital to ensure that the finished product is of a professional standard.  wewow provide digital PDF proofs as standard and can also supply cromalin/wet proofs upon request.  Digital and/or wet proofs should be checked thoroughly by clients before approval is given so we have compiled a short checklist to guide you through the process. 

You should be confident that;

Text

1. The correct fonts are displayed on proofs.
2. Text is properly aligned.
3. There are no spelling/grammatical errors.

Colour
Please be aware that PDF proofs are not an accurate reflection of colour as digital proofs are displayed in RGB colour on a computer monitor.  Please request cromalin/wet proofs if you concerned about colour output (this may be chargeable).

1. Spot pantone colours are stated correctly.
2. For CD/DVD print a white or silver based should be specified on the proof.
   A silver base will generally be indicated by a 2^nd page on the PDF.
3. Matt or gloss finishes should be specified on proofs, where applicable.
4. PDF proofs should be checked with overprint preview switched on.

Layout

1. All images & text are displayed and placed correctly.
2. Artwork is aligned to tick marks.
3. Text and logos are a minimum of 3mm away from the trim line.
4. Page numbers are correct & you are confident that pages are laid out in the correct order – particularly if the artwork is set up in printer’s pairs.

wewow’s expert reprographics team are on hand to offer artwork guidance so please feel free to contact us should you have any questions or concerns.
