Abstract
My name is Jonah Koen, and this book serves as my senior thesis project in Graphic Design at SUNY New Paltz. I’ve been a member of the yoyo community for 8 years now, and it has been a wonderful journey. I first picked up a yoyo around the age of seven, when I got one as a gift for the holidays. I learned some basic tricks on responsive yoyos, like rock the baby. One of my fondest memories is standing on my couch or other elevated surfaces to play with the yoyo, since the string was long and I was short, and I didn’t know you could just cut it to length. My yoyoing phase at this age didn’t stick around for more than a year, if that, and I had no idea I would re-discover it later on.
