illustration + paper + collage = design

Recently I've been getting interested in incorporating the handmade into design. I'm tired of designing straight from the computer...
starting from:

sketching out ideas to
click... click... clickclickclickclick
printing it out to
Command+P... hmm not the right color... Command+P again
putting it together
snip snip... ow!
All that gets a bit tiring after a while.

But I've always admired design that incorporated hand drawings or something that came from the imperfect hand. I did a bit of searching and found a whole genre of designing with the handmade, whether it's with paper, illustrations, or a combination of both.

Enjoy

I agree with you. I also get tired of staring at a computer it feels like im in a cave.

I hear you Jennifer! I mean, it's the perfect combination to use something hand drawn with computer made design.
