Went back to exploring the notebook idea because I thought that it had potential. In my crit someone mentioned the idea of making it physically and then scanning this in, leaving a border to show sticky notes and paper sticking out. I ordered component books and while waiting for them to arrive designed my own labels for the front cover. I wanted to make the cover look familiar so stuck to the traditional design while changing the text to the cover copy. I really like this idea as it links back to my research on ‘A Smile in The Mind’ as it’s taking something familiar and changing it to induce surprise. I think that combining this along with hijacking an object could make for a successful cover design.
I was really happy with the object that I had made when I stuck all of my elements onto the book in preparation for scanning it. However, during the process I realised that I would have a lot more freedom in terms of layout if I scanned in a plain book and then assembled it digitally. This would be further beneficial as I wand this design to be clean and professional.
