Creative visual journals, in other name sketchbooks, are a personal space to build the ideas that take form. Basically, sketchbooks offer us an area that can be used to dig into themes, document memories, play with new techniques and develop new ideas. To sum up, pages that we are completely free to use as we want. A visual journal can contain anything. Rough ideas, artworks in progress, finished artworks, typography trials, collages and sometimes notes, questions, reminders – even a market list – etc.
Creative Visual Journals and Their Owners
Sketchbooks are used as a part of the creative process. By transferring the ideas that come to our minds through sketches, we watch that idea come to life in our minds and take us to different paths. Sketchbooks tell a lot about whoever owns them. From how we draw the line, our color palette selection, our choice of materials, and the layout of the pages, every detail tells something about our personality and interests. In this selection, we’ll be visiting the pages from sketchbooks that reveal the different styles of three different artists.
When I found out about Wong Chun Hei Stephen and Ariel Lee, two amazing artists one based in Hong Kong and the other in southern California, I was struck by their talent to reflect what they experienced in nature into their art.
Fenna Schilling is a graphic designer and a DJ whose visual and sonic collages have versatile characteristics. The intuitively crafted artworks of the artist provide an opportunity for her personal exploration through cut and paste technique and make way for an open-ended process.
Inspiration Farmer is a collection of artists and designers we discovered recently. We are inspired by their work and decided to make a weekly collection.
