A bunch of design babble

Ok so I updated my design that I posted yesterday because I slept on the idea and I didn't like it as much as I did yesterday. So I changed it to this new design. I think that it's more sophisticated and more reflective of my work over the course of the semester. It's still really simplistic, but I think it would be inviting for someone to open up the book and look closer. I'll probably bind the book with thick twine material. I'll post the final outcome soon.



In the meantime I finished tweaking my coaster design. The assignment is to design a collaborative self promotion with a group of 4 classmates and represent the different people in the group as individual designers but also as a cohesive group. My group decided to make a set of coasters with an intro coaster with contact info and then 4 coasters designed by each individual. We wanted to do it with a quirky edge to show that we are a fun group. Each coaster has a picture of the person and a saying. We're going to try to seal them and glue them to corkscrew on the back so that they function as real coasters but who knows how that'll turn out. Mine is kinda goofy because I'm smiling like an idiot, I have totally the wrong boxing form and as my roommate says "It doesn't look like I could beat up anyone." I tried to make it so that one could hold it from any orientation and it would still function and make sense. This may go through more changes too so I'll post the whole project when it's done with the other coasters too.
