My little blackboards

In order to reduce waste from the cutting of my blackboards, and in hope to make up for some of the expenses making them incurred, I have produced around 20 rectangular MDF pieces that I hope to sell.

After painting these in blackboard black they could be used as a notice board or for drawing on. I labeled them 'note board' and today painted the first three.

What I hope to present tomorrow + troubles.

 Here are two examples are what I hope to present tomorrow in class.



I want to print these on adhesive paper, and I attempted to do so last Friday.
Only a few minutes before I wanted to print anything, they told me that the printer which prints the  stickers seized to work.
Because it costs quite a lot of money to print, I decided to wait till Monday morning and try to print again, hopefully the printer would be working by then.
If it doesn't work, my plan is to print these stickers on normal paper and present them as mockups.

Stuck!

 I wrote the following text on Sunday evening, and that forgot to post it.

I need to present to a class tomorrow a brief I wrote myself about the subject  'is print dead?'

Here is a brief I have at the moment:


I believe print is the result of transferring information and thoughts from our minds into the real world. Therefore print is far from dead, it has evolved in such a way that today the digital print is used for growing number of purposes, whereas more traditional paper based printing is applied when it is most appropriate.
That is the reason why we see more and more beautiful uses for paper-based print.

I plan to demonstrate the relationship between digital and paper-based print. I will attempt to create one paper-based and one digitally printed object that will play to each medium's strength, and will show a clear connection to each other.

I really don't know what to do. The truth is that my mind is still on my last project, and despite the fact that I have been spending all week thinking about what to do I cannot come up with a single idea. seems I am stuck.  Last week in the briefing Amanda said that the truly hard part in a self initiated brief
is actually starting to work.  I must admit, I underestimated her words.
 so tomorrow I'm going to plead my case to the class, I'm going to show what I have done so far and hope for some helpful feedback.

 this was the only visual material I brought to class
