Ten Thumbnail Sketches for Self-Promotion Notepad

Ten thumbnail sketches.  They are all basic picture ideas to put in the corner of the notepad except for the one that is just a box with NPJ Originals in it.  That one would run along the whole bottom of the notepad.

My rough image for the thumbnail I chose.

I went with the image of black rimmed glasses with my design name within the frames.  It's a simple design and I feel like it serves a few purposes.  It makes my name look prominent within the frames and it is almost like the glasses are looking at my name by having it within the lens.  By picking the thick black rimmed glasses I also am appealing to what I would say is a nerd/geek crowd, because usually these kind of glasses are associated with those people, which I am one of them.  The QR code also got placed in the top left corner by itself to give it more prominence and make it really pop out.
The final product.
