The guide has potential to incorporate mascot stuff. Apparently Japan has mascots for pretty much everything. They seem to lean towards cutely persuading people. It is an idea for imagery throughout the project.

-averta standard is part of the geometric family

I think this font is pretty nice too (the hand):

- the downside of this font is that it can only be in caps
-I like the handwritten feel

-I like the contrast of condensed imagery and spaced type


-this person used paper cut outs to make imagery- pretty cool

-cut outs overlayed
