Different Tin Finishes
- Metallic is considered from the onset
- Finishes are important
- Pantone colours are industry standard

Watching these videos has made me realise that use of the tin and the shape that it takes is a really important part of the brief. This is something I will need to consider from the onset of the brief making sure it is integral to the design.
