Assignment 3, Stationery + Ink: PACKAGING/BRANDING

Pretend you see the photo of my Memo Holder.  That sleek black holder of my personal MEMO paper with my name in red at the top.  Marcelle always said "poor workmen find fault with their tools" and this is a case in point.  This little white piece of paper with my name at the top in red ink isn't very distinctive.  I continued to make the best of it by putting the blank memo's behind a clear plastic front on a glossy black container shaped like an envelope.  It has an opening at the top with a piece of plastic with which to use when a flat sturdy surface isn't available.  I chose a black twisted cord has the handle, it looks similar to a purse.  For the presentation I added some colorful Eames US stamps and a couple of envelopes.

It wasn't a big hit to my class mates.  I calculated a D+ by averaging the points, 1 - 5.  Perhaps if I was able to hang my little ditty it would have been clearer that it had a handle.  A BIG distractor was the black tape that I used to cover an exposed seem.  Some thought it looked like electrical tape but all I had available the night before it was due!  Time management MUST improve or I'm . . . .
