I am still having no luck uploading my album covers. Sorry, they should be up soon!
But on a better note, my final for the polymer plate assignment is up and finished! I decided to go with a "type as image" approach, creating my own letters. I became quite attached to the idea of defining my word, pre-made, as "No Assembly Required." I loved the idea of depicting this definition in an incredibly hard to read type, creating the paradox of it requiring mental assembly. In my mind, this will be the front cover of a greeting card, further pushing the pre-made nature. Along the sides runs "manufactured thoughtfulness," a little surprise found upon looking closely. I'm awfully excited to get off the computer and begin to print, as I know the it will be the best part!

I love this design! It has a great heavy and graphic quality. Also, the combination of the words "NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED" and how hard it is to make out is a really fun contrast. The colors you chose are nice too. Full cyan with yellow always draws attention.
I think your design turned out well. Whenever I look at it I think of the top of one of those cakes that has an unnaturally crisp image on it. The large solid areas of color contrasted with the small type make interesting results on the printing press.
