Creative journaling is an umbrella term that is further divided into junk journaling, art journaling, and scrapbooking. However, over the last few years, boundaries between these categories have started blurring a lot with more and more people following an “anything goes” sort of approach.
My endeavor in this class is to help you develop a daily creative habit where you start to appreciate random objects around you to use them in your journal, but more importantly that you start thinking of journals as a “visual representation” of whatever is on your mind.
The word “layout” often overwhelms beginners… but I will break down the process for you in simple steps so that you end up falling in love with placing and arranging elements in your journal spread!
We will be exploring 30 different layout styles that will give your creativity a boost and will leave you confident and equipped to start your own journal. We will also be exploring how to use found objects in your journals effectively, as well as how to create embellishments and ephemera that liven up your journal spreads.
By the end of the class, you will have 30 beautiful journal spreads that are unique, personal, and a reflection of your individual creative voice.
But that’s not all!
Additionally, we will also be talking about how to select color palettes, how to achieve balance in your spreads, how to play with textures… basically, knowledge that you can use in all kinds of creative projects outside of the scope of this course as well! In other words, you will start looking at visual creativity in general with a fresh approach!
