When first coming up with ideas for this notepad, I knew I wanted to create something that I would practically use. I made sure to create a space so I could write down my homework for the night, notes of things I needed to remember, and a specific place for drawing. I also wanted to do something related to painting since it’s a hobby of mine. With these ideas in mind, I made a few different sketches to create something that I thought I would use before choosing a design. I chose two Pantone colors that I thought would work well together, purple was my first choice then I chose brown to be a neutral color. I then made my design, creating all of the elements myself to make it truly mine. After creating my design, I did a color separation to make sure that I would only print out my two spot colors that I created. I then took some 8.5 x 11 Letter paper and printed out my design on the 2 Color Heidelberg Printmaster Printing Press. I then took my printed project, cut it to size on the Polar N92 Plus Paper Cutter, separated the papers into sections of 50 with chip board in between each section, and padded all of them.
