I then pulled inspiration from found magazines from the 40's and 70's for a second idea. The idea was to use the existing magazine as my material, utilizing it for everything from imagery, to paper, cover, back, and spine. Posted are a few examples of several pages I pulled out to use certain elements from.
After looking over both ideas and convening with teachers, I chose to go with the magazine, as I felt it more accurately portrayed all of my objects and wasn't as limiting as the cassette tape. I learned to design "from the inside out" considering content first, and then worrying about form.
The finished pro
duct was printed on pages from the magazine that represent the theme of each object. Sometimes the connection is literal, for example on the typewriter spread the background image is simply a collection of
typewriters. However, due to the limitation
s of my medium some connections are more abstract and have to do with function. For example - the floppy disk spread is printed on advertisements for storage systems.
