“Some people use their sketchbook/notebooks to help them work things out. We use them to imagine things, figure out how to make something, help us see and listen, and to help us lay out certain problems we are wondering about in a way that lets us know more about them. I like this kind of sketchbook/workbook best the kind that’s more of a place to mess around than a place to make skillful pictures. Although it turns out that spending a certain amount of sincere time messing around in your notebook it just seems to lead to some beautiful pages anyway.”
sketchbooks
This is my “moleskine”
Made from 2 sheets of 120 gsm paper, 1 piece of recycled cardboard and two standard size staples.
It’s very low budget and fits into a back pocket.
I’ll post some instructions later.
I’ve decided to post a 2 notebook page spread every other day during the course of this year, thats 182 in total.
Slightly ambitious but it’s slightly more achievable than daily. The last few days have been extremely complicated so these pages were made during last year.
Hope 2011’s working well your end.
