Before going further I had to create the booklet. I started by using the existing shapes in an A5 booklet but was not happy with the results.
With help of a peer, I decided to go for a 6 page spread with 3 different types of art to show. Written, Drawn and an extra random one, to be called dimensional – being photography or object or something creative.
The written will hold a poem from the month. The drawings show the top 9 drawings. Finally the last one holds information about creativity and why we should be creative.
I realised the booklet had no correlation to the board so added the tangrams throughout then decided that it looked over crowded and removed the background for the squares as building blocks to design. I kept the outside the yellow but calmed it down so it resembles the sticky note pack.
I decided to redo the boards so that they are longer to fit across a wall, not just a corner in the room. They become the main focus.
Asking my house mates as they are mostly medical students (the perfect people to ask) they thought my designs wanted them to do origami not to use a pen and sticky note. They loved the way the visuals looked and it has a calming presence as well as an exciting playful side.
