Design and Image - Project 1 - Much ado about Boots


Finally another design project complete!
This the the first project for Design and Image. The class is exactly what the name suggests: designing around images.
For the first project we had to pick an everyday object and come up with at least 50 different concepts for it (I chose boots, so come of my concepts were types of boots, materials, tools to make them, anything else called a "boot", fashion, etc.)
Then out of those concepts we had to create a 20-page accordion presentation.
We could use: 20 separate images. Or some separate images and some larger ones that took up two pages. Or all large images...
It depended on the photos you chose and how you wanted to organize them.
This thing is... well it's massive.
It's only 5 inches high - but it's 100 inches long!
Mind you, when it's all folded up it's 5 inch x 5 inch and 1.7cm high - but stretched out is TERRIFYING.
Quite possibly the most fun? Making the little box.
Absolutely nothing to do with the project other than making it look a little more like boots - it's black cardstock lined with white cardstock, and fastened with a buckle. I love free time.
