Project update

As of now, I have nearly finished my sticker pages. I have 6 pages done, but I would like to expand to 8 pages and do more pages around girls, and animals. I also have noticed that my style isn't very NeoTraditional, so I do have to change my question or reevaluate it. This is so it is relevant to the sticker book. As I am still doing a sticker book based around tattoos and marketing. The main difference is the style change and how I have not stuck to one style through out this hole book, so I might do the different styles as a concept for my question and be like a study for this class.

Key Ideas, Tattoos, stickers, 18+ and multi styles

How can I create a sticker book that is market at young adults, 18+, that explores different styles and resembles a Tattoo flash book?

This Question is more relevant and more accurate as the original one I had chosen, wasn't as focused down and was still unsure on how I was going to execute the sticker book. Or have an idea of the final outcome. This also gives me for flexibility and more freedom when it comes to my designs and the over all product, but still has a clear motive and focus.

Here are the updates on the pages and what I will be doing next.

I am very happy with how the pages have turned out so far, I do see pages for improvement on all pages and will be further looking into them to see how I have make them better or how I can create a better look for this book. I have also decided to expand on the red and black through out this book and this seems to be a heavy theme throughout my hole book, and made me realize that Neotraditional style wasn't a style I was good or liked to draw, but It was the source of my inspiration for my own style that is heavily focused around the appeal of black and red accenting. I didn't notice this until I have looking through the pages and notice I only had two designs that were fully coloured.

This page here was the page that made me think about expanding my idea and theme through this book, as it as the same theme of animals but it also has clearly two different styles.Which made me more confident on looking into different styles and expanding the book further.

So I have split this page into two different pages and that is were I am up to now. And because I want the book to have even amount of page or multiples of four. I will also do another page that looks more into skater art style.

I have also had a meeting with the company that has offered to print my book and we have discusses printing and how it will be done. So I have to finish the pages and cover, add the business name on each sticker and then do die cut lines and send them through the company so they can print them. Doing the die cut lines myself makes it faster for them to print and produce the stickers as if they did it they might do it wrong and cut it in a way I don't want it to. So it is easier for myself to do it to make sure we are all on the same page. The cutting stickers may take a while which is what I am quite worried about. How long it would take for them to produce the stickers and the coats. I'm hoping by next week I can have all the pages done and start putting the business name on everything and get the cover done. I think I will change the cover to be more cohesive with the book as it doesn't connect with the designs in the book.  I do want to keep to the concept of the mask as the front cover.
