Visual Diary/Journal

Set aside 10-15 minutes each day to create something new. Sketch, doodle, paint, photograph, write, design, type, collage. Whether you do it by hand, on paper or on the computer, document these creative exercises each day into your visual journal blog, as to develop a means to explore potential creative ideas and have digital documentation of all your thoughts, in order to revisit them when falling into a design rut.

 1. Read Visual Diary handout

2. Create your own visual journal blog. Sign up for a free blog account at blogger.com, tumblr.com, wordpress.com specifically for your visual journal this semester. Completion of daily entries will be factored into Studio Practices portion of course grade.

3. Email me your visual journal blog URL by the end of today's class session.
