Well, two actually. Firstly, I’m making a book of designers from various “isms” such as constructivism, futurism, dadaism, pictorial modernism etc.

I’ve decided to make the front and back cover out of metal (much like the Futurist’s manifesto) but maybe mix it up with some other “ism” just to add some more interest.
I’ve to design the inside pages as well which will be equally important. It’ll be tough to keep a consistency between so many different styles of artistry.
Secondly, I’m making a children’s book. I’m much less certain about this at the moment as the designer book is due first and so it’s on my mind the most.
I’m interested in a tactile book and maybe something “make and do” but I really have so set myself a target age group before I can start designing and this will also limit what I can actually do.
Enough for now, I’ll post photos when it’s done.
Hey all! How are we keeping?
I’m using my new Android G1 phone to post this using an app called wpToGo which is pretty nifty.
College is mad buzy. I had a presentation yesterday that went well but I have like 6 big projects due in December. A Design magazine, a children’s book, a Flash game, a flash ‘yolkie’, a website and a 3d scene. Many a late night lies ahead!
I’ll leave you with a photo of a book that I bound and made myself in class today. It’s pretty cool if I do say so myself.
Talk to ya’ll again!
Edit//: I guess it’s not so good at uploading images. Oh well :/
