Final Buttons

Reflection

Buttonmaking was easier than Business Card Design in comparison. The tools you use to make the buttons: a paper cutter and a button maker, are way less mechanically intense than the hydraulic cutter. Just like my business cards, I diverged significantly from my final sketches once I got to illustrator. Perhaps this signifies an inability for me to stick to my own plans, or perhaps it simply means that I'm the type of person who constantly revises their ideas. The buttons came out neater than I thought they would be, and on center too! My large button proudly celebrates non-binary pride, and my smaller button has an anti-war message that seems particularly relevant right now.
