For the book project, I intend to present a piece that completely covers the scope of all that we have covered in our class so far, on top of my previously gained technical prowess in design. After having looked at many examples, some contemporary and other avant, I feel that the direction that I need to take needs to be reflective of who I am regardless of the direction I go with it. However, being the kind of person I am, I cannot simply just put a "coffee-table" book together that presents my work in a typified fashion. I decided to go the more avant direction with my book.
Having been fascinated with 8-bit renderings since I was a child playing a Nintendo, and with the resurgence of everything retro (or, catching up to my tastes as I like to think), I decided to make my book based on an old-school Nintendo game instruction booklet. Even though it would be modeled after your standard manual layout, I will be creating every part of it independently, even concocting the name and logo of a fake video game console if necessary. Within this format, I will detail the goings on in my every day life and display the whole of the details throughout the manual. In short, a my life is the game, and it is a representation of how technological our lives have become.
