During the How to project I learned that design can be filled with problems that need more than one answer. When going back for each set of iterations there were always two words in my mind, consistency and variety. While these things may seem like opposites what I learned is that you need both of them in order to create a dynamic design. With my topic, applying nail polish, I found consistency in my color scheme and variety in the size. I chose to unite the piece through color and illustrative style. Variety came with variations in the size of red circles that held the subject in each step. The circles were used to first highlight the subject and second set up a hierarchy and imply a sequence of events in the individual steps. Another element that served to fulfill both consistency and variety was the use of pattern. By using colors associated with the 1950’s and simple, streamlined illustrations I worked to set a tone for the book. A thin red outline adorns the subject, hands and fingers, in the piece. I feel that by implementing these rules that brought an important cultural association, helped to feed the conceptual side of the project. At the conclusion of this project I feel like I have a higher awareness for the detail that goes into a project like this.  I'm confident that this new sensitivity to accuracy will positively affect future projects.
