These are just some ideas.I could possibly create a dictionary of my 100 objects,playing with the mundanity of my objects. But then again,even though they are quite cheap and tacky,i actually think in their own way,each 'thing' i collected has some interesting quality or function. This was just a passing idea,where i have experimented just to see what it might look like. The content isnt particularly interesting though and the whole idea is too literal.
Have been researching by looking and reading some interesting paper engineering books. Paperwork-the potential of paper in graphic design is a book that i became quite familiar with on my foundation last year. I am particularly intrigued by the chapter on die cut products. A lot of the stuff i produce is subtracting and cutting away rather than adding and the process of die cutting is in itself this,though it looks a whole lot more professional and clean than cutting out using a craft knife. I've also been looking at Paper Engineering-3D design techniques for a 2d material. Again its full of paper manipulation and interesting/inspiring examples. And of course i always have my new book Tactile in close proximity,its awesome.
But because i have not made my mind up on the actual content of the book i am eventually producing,i cant even begin to think of the form/format my intended book for submission will take!
