so much graphic design work really snuck up on me when i started on it this morning.
for kendra's class tommorrow i need to have at least three cover designs for the final book and a revised graphic matrix of the ideas connected to the tape dispenser. i spent a good bit of time laying out and gathering images for the matrix, but i'm getting sick of that, so i'm doing a bit of work on the revised layout of the actual book.
this is now my fifth layout for the book's pages, and i have to say, i'm really excited about this one. the past four i was just sort of putting the pictures together in some way that seemed interesting and fulfilling but not really caring too much except to get it done. now i'm deleting stuff, doing complete do-overs of previous compositions and coming up with patterns for the page orders and now at some point, when i put the camoflague tape dispenser in the jungle near a waterfall next to the giant cropped tape dispenser arm, i got UNBEARABLY excited looking at the page layouts.
everything flows. its effing miraculous.
there's an immediate formal relation from panel to panel and the pages go 1 b&w, 1 color, 2 b&w, 2 color, repeat. i knew it was genius when i put my ninja tape dispenser next to the spiraling tape dispenser pattern and the shapes lined up on the edges of the pages. beautiful!!!

my plan right now is for a 16 page book and right now i have a four panel gap between number 11 and 16.
this should be good, but i need to work on this ALOT.

don't expect a song this weekend. i have to work on this book, hard style.
