Why have you kept a reference of “map on ring binder ++”?
Greetings! Stumbled upon one of my Pinterest finds, did you? I don't own these images, but I'm proud of my eye for beauty.
Using Pinterest, designers can effortlessly store and categorize ideas, ensuring they have a rich repository of inspiration at their fingertips.
Branding captures the essence of a company, its values, mission, and the promise it makes to its customers. Design is the bridge that connects a brand's vision with its audience, creating a cohesive and immersive experience. Design is about transforming limitations into creative solutions, turning challenges into opportunities. A brand's design identity is its unique fingerprint in the market, setting the tone for all its communications.
What Pinterest tells us about this image
Map drawn as a cover for a ring binder I gave my mother’s for her 50st birthday. I made the map entirely by hand and with a brand pan – normal pencils won’t stick on the plastic of the ring binder. However, the varnish reacted somehow with the ink, so down under is blurred a bit (and a bit too much). Moreover, the ring binder isn’t exactly water proof anymore, so the varnish actually counteracts the purpose of itself. 2011. – This was originally posted on Pinterest. See the original
