The last few days I've been waiting for my monograph/Thesis process book to come back from lulu.com, its the 160 page book I've been working on the past 2 weeks, and it was suppose to be here last wednesday, so hopefully tomorrow "monday" it will be here. I just want to be able to see how it printed out.
meanwhile as I sit at the computer where it seems like every key is sticking down as I write, here is the cover I created for the book. I designed my cd booklet to match the book design, or maybe it was the other way around, I dont remember which one I made first.
The past thursday and friday the graphic design dept. had a visiting artist and we had a 2 day workshop with him. His name was Doug Scott, "he made the 'Zoom' logo." and some other stuff, i wasent to impressed with his body of work but he definetly knew what he was talking about and it was good to hear someone else not in our dept. talk about design and there experiences.
The project was to create a book using our influences, something i feel like I've done a million times this semester. I'm sick of talking about my influences and making pieces just about myself, after awhile its boring and all of my work turns out looking the same. which everyone constantly tells me.
The workshop was still a good experience and i had fun, seeing other peoples work was fun to.
The book is a accordian, 5 spreads, with a front and back cover.
"This project was a look into what inspires us as designers, so there is a lot of samples imagery in these pages, i'm not claiming that the mathew woodson or dan blakeslee images are mine."
This is a sketchbook that i made for myself the other day, I'm only going to use it for my thesis work, its just a sketchbook but i figure i havent put anything knew on here for aboout a month or more.
this is what i do at work when i get bored.
