keep a visual diary of my life

i dont know if anyone can remember the pringles advertising campaign, once you pop you can’t stop…

i can’t stop adding things to this diary. i was out with a friend the other night that i haven’t seen for ages. we caught up at this really really cute little cafe/bar. they had big murals on the walls and there was one in particular of these two birds that i fell in love with.

my friend got up and went to the toilet at one stage so i whipped out my diary and sketched what i saw. she came back and was like please dont put it away i love seeing you sketch. i sat there for another five minutes putting a couple of doodles into my diary… it goes everywhere with me now and i feel kind of strange without it

my beautiful yellow diary is growing!
i have been picking up different bits and pieces that i see around the place that i think are cool and sayings and even sticking doodles in there. for once i haven’t given up in the first two days :)

i have kept true to my yellow visual diary. i carry it with me every where incase i have a random thought or image that i feel it should carry. today i filled it with some really cool designed avant cards that i had been keeping in my draw at work.

i love my diary!

today i went shopping for a visual diary for all of my inspirations to go in. i went searching far and wide trying to find one that i would be able to use… i wanted a yellow one more than anything… after hours and hours of walking in and out of stationary stores i found what i was after…

a yellow, blank, A5 diary… it’s perfect!

i want to start a diary that documents things that i am inspired by, quotes, people, pieces of design… photographs even.
it will document the things that are going on in my head each day :)
