Life is boring

Hi people,

I am doing the 3rd year of my graphic design degree and this one was for a book project based on my personality and views etc. Brief was way too open so I came up with obvious and random life principles I believe in. It was fun seeing other people's books too. Here are the 14 pages from my book titled 'Life is boring'.

I need to scan the cover, since it was made out of felt fabric and hand drawn on, a bit crap really.

Here you go.

Very cool stuff. It'd make some fun posters, especially if you lined them all up.

The only one I dont agree with is the jack of all trades one. Nothing wrong with trying lots of things. Being a master of a single thing isnt for everyone.

That is great. I really liked the last two but some of them looked kinda empty and raw but they fitted to the theme alright.

I like them, excpet maybe the one about "live evereyday like the last one". I think it is a little bit rethoric and lacks the lovely irony that all the others one have. It is impossible to live every day like the last one.
That's apart it is really a cool work :-)

Wish I obeyed all of those things, would just make my life easier. Thank you all for your kind words, wasn't expecting such a feedback.

And also:

Amir the night wolf: Well I have scanned my poor little sketches, put them in PS and used the polygonal lasso tool for the entire process. I will attach a few sketches.

Vimmel: I still cut my own hair, but sometimes some accidents happen and I have to find my hat again.

aesir: I have spend way too many years fantasizing about becoming a rock legend only to discover that the lifestyle and some people I couldn't deal with. I had a bit of a late start in terms of deciding what to do with my life and choosing to do design. I definitely don't regret picking up the guitar though, I've met some great people thanks to that.

Summonix: I drink tea way too much, when I work specially. And I remember actually talking to the kettle once. It was simply me being driven to madness due to insufficient amount of sleep.

gawain: I agree and disagree with you. You're right about it not fitting the rest of them, but it is possible to seize the day, everyday. For me it's more about dealing with my anger most of the time

I also thank the rest of you for your kind words again, for making me feel good today

Here are some of my base sketches.

Have a nice day all of you
