No Staples Book

Firstly, I drew out some basic stationary using fine liner.








































I then separated each drawing onto its own layer and adjusted them to threshold.




































I used the brush tool when colouring the drawings and coloured 'out the lines' to add a childish feel. I used red as the main colour, using different shades. I also used different shades of black to contrast with the saturated red colours.

 I did this to all of the drawings on their separate layers so that I could transfer them to the no staples book template.


I used ink and a paintbrush to create words associated with stationary to incorporate within my design. I added threshold so that it was crisp and linked with the colour scheme (black and red).

I then placed each edited drawing and inked writing into the template for the content of the no staples book. I changed the sizes and angles so that it would fit together with an equal spread of white space.

For the poster on the opposite side of the no staples book I wanted to include an orderly design. I placed the first image in (compass) and placed the point of the compass in the centre of the template. Then I duplicated it, placing the duplicated one onto of the originally placed compass. Then I rotated it but moved it's centre point of the rotation to the centre on the template. I repeated this until I had made a complete circle of equally spaced compass images. To complete this design I repeated the same process with each edited stationary image.
