7.

Instant book

I've probably folded dozens of paper for this project, hoping to get the perfect fold. I didn't exactly know what I wanted to do my project on for the longest. At first I wanted to make up a story. I didn't really have a clue as to what to make my story about. So I finally decided to do a guide, called "How To Stop Being Miserable All The Time."


After I got the title I decided to focus on things that make me happy which would be easy to draw or find a glyph for. I composed a list of these five things and thought about what images I would use to portray it.


*Eat

*Love
*Laugh
*Have Sex
*Shop
*Smile

For "Eat" I decided to make a burger using the shape tools. For Love I used heart glyphs. For Laugh I used a fun font and said "HA HA HA." For Have Sex I used a glyph of a bed. For shop I also used the shape tool to draw a mall. And for smile I used a smiley glyph.


The hardest part of this project was getting the documents I made at home, to work open on the school's computer. Since adobe provides the updated free trial online and the school's adobe isn't upgraded, I had to start redoing some of my images. Though a hassle I was happy with the turn out.
