Alright so here is the 5 random words project, again. The cover of the book sucks. I don’t like it. I’m not even going to show it. I’m just going to show the content.

So this past week was the first week of my latest school semester. I am taking another book arts class, as well as digital design 2, along with a couple of liberal art classes. This was my first assignment for my Digital Design 2 class. It’s a designer’s dossier.

The object was to “write approximately 250-300 words about yourself. Use an original self-portrait (photo or illustration) as the primary graphic. Create an engaging two-page spread design that will communicate what you most want us to understand about who you are and why you are pursuing a career in design.”

I was originally going to use the image of me from lovestruck because I thought the image fit me so well. But I decided against it to broaden my horizons.

This is the first part. Over the next week, we’ll all be editing our projects and trying to make them better through the critiques of our classmates and instructor.

Okay so for this round I decided that my books were going to contain common/traditional dutch recipes that are used around the holidays. Yes I know the holidays are over, but it’s still cold out and all three of these sound delicious to me right now. So there!!

The books are 8, 12, and 16 pages and their covers make them look like holiday gifts! The recipes are for Oliebollen, Bitterballen, and Apple Flappen! Look them up. They’re really good.

The digital imaging final was about creating images that portray words. Well… three of them were. One was about um… a product. Lets see if you can figure the words out. They’re probably not really good. lol The only reason the teacher thought they might be good was because he’s the one that gave us the words. lol

Here is my flag book. this might be one of my favorite books. I think what I like most about this book is the movement it has. Just like.. waves of little flags. ^.^ The flags are attached to opposite sides of the accordion fold.
