Thumbnail Sketches

What I was trying to achieve with this assignment was to explore different shapes, colors and elements to make a interesting luggage tag designs. I had a big AHA moment when I realized that I didn’t have to really stick to just geometric shapes; I was having a difficult time trying to think of real designs and started taking them from designs I noticed on other tags. Some general concepts I kept too was mostly general shapes, and then taking from my life, such as with the eagle and the green state of Indiana. I also love pool so I drew a miniature pool table.

I chose this as my interesting photo because it highlights the eagle and part of the pool table, the crown and the tag made out of my initials. I felt that combining my initials into a tag worked very well. It shows off the most interesting designs I had come up with.

Some problems I encountered were mostly just coming up with more designs after a point, as I was just having issues with imagining something interesting that could make a good tag. I solved it by doing more research and seeing what the early bird people did to get some idea of what they did. After I did more research I came back and finished the designs.

If I had more resources I would have cleaned up the drawings a bit more and try to make my initials more prominent on some of them. I rushed some of the designs and did not properly put my initials on them. Some of the connections.
