Reflection
I learned using your aesthetics to design the cover and adding your idea of materials to create the catalogue. It was a fun project since you do not have use formal way of making a book with text; you have the flexibilities to make and design the catalogue. At the start, I want to make each page inside the catalogue more consistent, so it would not look messy. Moreover, all the color I used stayed consist as well, so the whole catalogue maintains matching color swatches. Moreover, the use of transparent paper and wool at the cover to make it have more texture and also uniqueness to it. The sequence is sorted by the image that I made with pen and makers on a canvas. I look at the size and details to figure out which one goes first and which other goes next to make it look aesthetic to me. The duration of it is just as looking at a picture book, since most of the texts are short and are quotes, therefore it results it to be easy to read.
