Hotdog Booklets

In a few weeks time I hope to be selling some small Hotdog booklet designs as the 'Leeds Print Festival' run by Amber. We each had different topics or words as the basis for our design. My word was three, and whilst we had undertaken plenty of research into how the number three appears in our everyday surroundings, I decided to go with pattern of three. I then decided there wouldn't be much purpose to my booklet and I had very little scope with this idea, So I have chosen to completely strip back the brief and look at the word 'three' itself. Here is some basic research into things we relate with the word three...
