Anime Central Lanyard-Contemporary

This is a free lanyard that came with my Anime Central ID card. It's function is to keep the ID out and visible without having to worry about it slipping away or getting lost. I found it quite considerate of the corporate system to provide a free lanyard while making it look so visually appealing.
The spacing and relatively same sized objects allow for a pattern to be formed by a wide variety of little pictures. The little pictures are caricatures of items associated with subjects that Anime Central may delve deeply into or simply gesture towards. For example, an illustration of a gaming controller can be seen at the very left. Since there are multiple panels involved in gaming this makes a lot of sense to include the picture, for gamers to associate with. Something to be less associated with would be the rocket, but, hey, it looks cute doesn't it?
The artistic function of this lanyard is to give cute cartoonist images for the wearer to associate with. I personally like to keep it as a souvenir, just in case I ever need a lanyard.
This is a piece of contemporary design, as it was more currently made.
