Pattern Research

I want to produce a pattern that the consumer can then colour in, using the pencils provided, so I took a trip to the library to look at some pattern books for a little inspiration

Two Sides

I came across this website when researching for sustainable paper choices to use inside my notebooks. I found it highly interesting to research about the facts and myths of paper. I also found it useful that it was highlighted that paper has two sides and both should be used. Definitely something to consider for my designs.

A pattern within type

As my product needs to be a communication tool in order to persuade the viewer to change, I have thought that it may interesting to work with placing a pattern within type. In doing this, it will provide visuals as well as communicate a message.

This idea has come from a book cover design I saw recently in Waterstones....

Patterns

I needed a little inspiration for a pattern design so I took a look at this pinterest

Seeded Paper

I want to use seeded paper within my sustainable design and have to managed to find seeded paper which is also made out of poo. There are a variety of different seeds which will enable me to produce a range.

Cellophane

I wasn't sure if I could use cellophane in my designs and whether or not it is a sustainable resource so I did a little research and it turns out it is ...excellent.

RSA

I want my design to take a sustainable approach, whilst at the same time retaining a design element to it. I want to refrain from using typical eco colours as much as possible in order for my design to appeal to other designers.
