Concept Statement
The purpose of this design was to craft a straightforward yet functional sketchbook that showcases identity. Attached is the quote, “When you identify with something you are not, it always leads to suffering and unhappiness” a sentiment that resonates with me, as I often fall into the trap of comparing myself to others. This journal serves as a gentle reminder to embrace my unique qualities and be proud of who I am. The reflective mirror and collage of words that describe my self-perception highlight my personality and allow the journal to grow and change with me as I continue on my creative journey.
I will be exploring how ideas are communicated and supported using a variety of visual and non-visual strategies, methods, and styles. This sketchbook is essentially a book for drawing or literary sketches, providing a space to work out and hold my ideas. I will be constructing my own for use throughout this project and I will look to use it as a visualizing tool that tells the stories behind the ideas I create for class and during creative explorations.
