The Daily Scrapbook


"I make books out of scraps. Does that make them scrapbooks? I suppose they are. At the very least, it's my way of keeping things that come across my desk, making compositions that look interesting. Green is a good color, but orange is even better. Numbers: what graphic designer doesn't like numbers? Is it a pattern that holds everything together, or is it the repetition? All I know is that I find it endlessly interesting to stare at a page and make relationships with color, shape and form."

Monotone?


The use of keeping all images the same seems to work well, monotone?, using them in pieces such as booklets etc. seems to keep a nice consistency throughout, rather than the normal multi coloured pictures you would generally get.

Another example of it's use, but using two seperate colours.
