Imanual Limas work

This is a piece of Imanual Limas work, which helped me generate an idea for the brief i was set,

' Timeline. '  This particular piece of work was taken from the Graphic Magazine, where he represents information by jumbled up and confusing lines. I feel that it makes the information visually exciting rather than displaying the information in a standard pie or bar chart.

Richard Minsky's work

Richard Minsky designed these books. His conceptual approach to book design really caught my attention. The content of the series of books were based on the rights protected by the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States. This book was the 8^th amendment. The idea of having the book being presented as a convict in jail is very tactile and engaging. With jail bars designed to protect the book, it has been put in a situation that suits the design. Also the choice of having the black and white strips on the cover of the book is stereotyping the image of a 'robber', I feel works well.





This books helped me generate ideas for my own book design from a brief we were given, 'book of a 100.' I decided to focus my book on 100 toys. When researching on toys, i came across Toy'2'r toys, which are toys designed by individuals to represent their feeling, each one is different. Then coming to the decision of using the silhouettes of the toys, and using the research i had taken from the public, i felt that when put together in the categories, due to the different sizes of the toys it represented a convict line, and therefor i came to the decision of using the 'robber' like stripes to represent this.
