1. Introduction: I think you can relate to this. Sometimes you get stuck. Your ideas are all over the place. You try to put them on paper. But there's something may sink. You search through your notes and you still feel like there isn't a physical connection between your thoughts. What can you do? And the designer and illustrator. And Brazil. As a graphic designer and visual artists, have always been drawn toward visuals where I can say that my life and the way I organize my thoughts and ideas really changed after I started taking visual, not. In this class. I'm going to show you how visual notes can be a powerful tool to organize your thoughts and ideas, as well as a great few to boost your creativity. Together will create a whole page of visual notes about ourselves. And for that, we will start from the basics. First, we'll create our own visual library, exploring and expanding our visual vocabulary. After that, we will dive into page layout and page composition and finish with a complete and well-structured visual notes page. After these lessons, I'm sure you take notes and organize your ideas in a whole different way. So stay tuned and join me in this class.
2. Class Project: In this class, we are going to create a full page of visual notes are bothered ourselves using the techniques and tips will go through during this course. Lessons inspired by the meteorite is challenge, will share a little bit about ourselves through a visual piece. Don't worry if now you don't consider yourself an artist. This course lessons are specifically tailored to show you how you can do a lot, starting with just a few basic elements. This project will also be a great opportunity to not only practice the skills you're going to learn during this course, but also a nice moment to slow down, take a breath, and to take a deep look within yourself and focus on the things that make you happy. It's all about learning to enjoy the process, to guide during this project, and to make things more objective, I recommend you include the following items on your projects. Final page, first, share with us your top five. It can be favorite food, books or movies. Include some info on where you live, no Keyczar, self and the world. Tell us about your city or country, etc. Then present your favorite hobbies. Do you like knitting, reading, and what should do for leaving a real programmer? Designers stay at home parents and last, share with us anything special or unique about you. As for the medium, I'll be using pen and paper. Basically, the idea is to use the materials you have at home. Feel free to work on digital media if you feel more comfortable with it. As for the size of the project page, I recommend a double page from a sketch book or standard A4 paper. So you can have enough space to add a good amount of information are used as excited as I am. Let's get started talking about what visual notes are and why you should start incorporate them into your life.
3. What Are Visual Notes: To define in a very objective way, visual notes is a technique that combines written and visual languages through a well-defined structure. By combining visual elements with written words, you stimulate your brain in a whole different level, which helps you remember more. And the registered information. On a TED talk called How to Draw to remember more. Griffin Show talks about our research that showed that people who when given a list of words, would remember these words more if they drew them unrelated to dad. The quality of the drawing doesn't seem to matter that much. Here is important to highlight that visual notes are not about art, but rather about ideas, as Mike Rohde says, and I quote, even the roughest drawings can express ideas effectively. Whether is a super realistic portrait or a simple stick figure. You are going to remember that is a person you are talking about, either way. Visual notes, sketch notes, or graphic recording. All of them describe this process of structured information, combining visual elements with written words, a technique that involves summarizing and organizing information, translating concepts into visuals. It can benefit a lot from practice. You can create drawings and icons that represent concepts and ideas using only basic forms. And you'll see that the more you practice, your drawings will gradually become faster and better. So don't get scared at the beginning, I promise everyone can draw an Enjoy the process. Now we know what visual notes are, but when and how can we use them? This what we are going to see on our next lesson.
4. Why Visual Notes: As we've seen, visual notes are the perfect match between visual elements and written words organized to row well-structured layout. We also comment on how our brain is highly stimulated when visuals and words are used together. When we draw an Associate Information and concept with visual elements is easier for our brains to recall it later. But when can we use visual note? Is there a specific occasion? Well, if you're willing to register information, organize your thoughts and ideas. You can certainly benefit from using visual notes. You can use them to organize your study notes, to register topics from an important meeting, or even to outline your plans and objectives. I personally started to use visual notes when I was in college. I had a hard time staying focused during classes and I used to do a lot to stay awake. When he decided to start creating visuals. There were more related to the topics that I was listening to. That was when my mind was blown off. From that moment until today, I use visual notes from my personal journaling to meetings at work. You would be surprised with how much our corporate environment can benefit from visual thinking, because it's much more than a nice qu and qd layout. It's also about a different method of thinking. When you think through visuals, urine, more objective, you go straight to the point in an organized and clear manner. I also enjoy using visual notes whenever I tend to talks and events. I also got invited to graphic Ricard, some talks and events on design here in Brazil. At this point, I would like to make a brief comment on Graphic Recording. Graphic Recording is when you listen to information and put it on paper. At the same time. I have always drawn a lot since I was a kid, and I still draw every day because I worked with graphic design and illustration. To me, drawing and listening at the same time came more naturally. But that doesn't mean that I still do have to practice. Sometimes you have to deal with subjects you are not so familiar with or you are at the very fast-paced talk. And to be prepared for that, I still practice a lot. When you were a beginner at drawing, it can be a little overwhelming. Learning the basics of visual language and practicing it at a fast pace. Since I plan this class to be accessible for all levels, we are going to practice visual notes at our own pace. People get easily frustrated when it comes to drawing at the beginning is normal, that our expectations and skill levels are unbalanced. This is super okay with time and practice, you'll get more comfortable to apply your visual node skills in other contexts. Before we get started, I would also like to show you some references from other visual note-taker. First, I highly recommend you to check out Mike Roads works, specially his book, The Sketch note handbook. It's kind of my Bible. I also love the works from ever lotta lamb and love her phone loose and yet super organized style. Sonny Brown is the author of The Doodle Revolution, and she also creates this beautiful and colorful pieces. Do you have any art, visual facilitator, visual note-taker that you admire, share your references with us in your class project or through the discussions tab, I love to discover new artists. And now that we have covered the main concepts of visual notes approach, it's time to get started chiming in the next class when we are going to talk about materials. See you there.
5. Getting Ready: Materials: Regarding materials, visual notes is a very democratic technique from a simple pen and paper to offense your digital device, such as a tablet, for example, you can use whichever media you feel more comfortable with. And you can also choose and change it whenever you like. For example, for graphic recordings at events or for my personal journaling at planning, I usually use paper, sketch books, and pens to study. I sometimes use my tablet, which is our concentric 13 HD, or a paper notebook as well. As for my favorites. I like only been fine line pens and I use them in different sizes. You'll see that these come in handy when you want to vary on the thickness of the letters. I also love lettering pens like this, and brush pens to give a little bit of swirl to the ladder and drawings. I also use a lot of colored pencils, not only to highlight and add a little color to the page, but sometimes I start my visual notes. We just spent two and I ink them afterwards. Mike rod called this process up pencil to ink approach. At the beginning of my visual notes journey, I used to lay out and start all my pieces with pencil because I was really insecure about making mistakes and bring the page. Sometimes it's hard to just let go. I know that from experience. If you feel that way, don't be shy and start with depends on there's absolutely no problem with it. It just might take a bit longer to finish the work because you have the inking stage after. But it's also a great opportunity to reinforce the information. Besides that, to this day, I like to start some visual notes with pencil because I started to really live the way the colored lines look beneath. Think. Also in some contexts, like a talk, in an event, the information comes in so fast. So it's nice to just gather and organize the main points first, then Inc. and review them later. If you're working with a thicker paper beside colored pencils, you can also use markers, for example, few free to explore. Are there materials? If you're not sure which materials suit best yours tired? Are you just feel like trying something new. You can use the exercises from this class to explore and try different pens, maybe some crayons, or even whether caller and washed paint can also give a nice touch to your work. But again, be sure to pick the proper paper to your chosen tools. I just suggest you limit your work to two to three twos per page. For example, on a specific visual note, you can use one color pencil and two types of Ben in another. You can use a brush ban, a fine liner, and water color, for example. For a specific project, is nice to limit the tools so you don't get overwhelmed by the options. Now that we have already talked about the materials, I suggest you PQR to enjoy Amy in our next class. Because now we are going to put things into action and start our visual library. See you there.
6. Visual Library: When we are beginners at drawing or have little practice, sometimes is hard to translate our ideas into visuals. It is also so easy to get frustrated. When you compare your drawings, retrain artist's work, or when you face the difference between what you see in plan in your mind and watch her hands can actually do just yet. At this point, I want you to take a deep breath and listen to me. You can draw it just a matter of practice. And for that, I'm going to teach you some methods that can help you a lot, specially when working with visual notes. When you create your visual notes, It's essential to have some key visual elements to incorporate interrupt pieces. Just like you've learned words to talk about how you feel to tell a joke or write a love letter. You can also create specific visual elements that represent concepts. Summarize ideas and express thoughts and feelings. To learn words and expand your vocabulary. You've studied in school and you've read a lot of books and articles and practice your writing through essays and papers. It's the same thing with visuals. You can expand your visual vocabulary by studying and practicing it. Creating a visual library is one of the best ways to improve your visual vocabulary. With a visual library, you can create visual alternatives for abstract concepts. Like how would you visually represent love or sadness? Or technology? It is just as when we learned how to write and had those calligraphy notebooks in which we would practice the same ladder over and over again. You can practice one drawing until you're satisfied with the outcome. A visual library can come in many forms. A sketchbook folder on your computer, or just a pile of paper sheets filled with drawings. The important thing is to register an organizer practice. You'll see that after filling it with creations and steadies, it will be also a nice place for you to flip through and get inspired. On this course, we'll build a visual library focused on elements that can be used to organize information neatly. Our visual library will be divided into the following segment, containers and dividers, arrows and bullets, topography, handwriting, entitles, icons, diagrams and graphics and other drawings. At the projects and resources tab, you will find a PDF file called Visual library. It's f material that have put together to guide you into building your own visual library. It contains brief explanations, examples, and practice segments. You can print a file or use it to draw digitally. You can also use it as a guide to build your own visual library on your sketchbook of preference. We've got our materials and we've chosen our visual library medium. So now it's time to start filling it with visual elements. And that's where the fun part starts. Come with me and let's learn a little bit more about containers and dividers on our next lesson. See you there.
7. Containers and Dividers: It's time to start building our visual library. And they think they can see you there right now holding your pen. You're sweating and maybe panicking a little bit. Perhaps you are prepared to give up because you put in your mind that you cannot draw with. Hold on a second. Just follow me quickly. First, let's just do a dot on the paper. Then just trace a short straight line beside a symbol circle, maybe a triangle here, and finish with a square. With those five elements, you can pretty much visually represent anything you like. What about a cat with a circle, two dots, two triangles and a couple of lines, and voila and a small house, a square and a triangle plus some others squares inside. And here we go. What about queued flowers? A bunch of circles work just fine. This approach of using these five basic elements of drawings was introduced to me by Mike routes. Work is a great technique to represent things in a very synthesized way. I encourage you to keep that in mind while we are working on our visuals. Just start. We are going to work on more abstract and structural elements of the visual notes. But later on, when we talk about the representatives drawings, the same mindset will work just fine. Let's start with containers. Personally, they are one of my favorites and I use them a lot on my work. Basically, they are visual structures that you use to organize information in visible blocks are to highlight specific topics. Containers are grading easy to incorporate your notes. You are starting your visual notes. Journey to a simple square root with a coat or a reminder related to the topic is a powerful way of organizing the information and highlighting it. Visually, you can explore many possibilities. From simple squares, two rectangles that make referenced paper in real life, to frames from PAR traits are circles and cloudy shapes. Anything is possible. If you don't know where to start in a practice, a great way to start is to just fill a page with squares, rectangles, and circles of various sizes using a pencil or a colored pencil without pressing it too hard on the paper. After that, start inking direct angles with different materials and styles. At the end, you'll be surprised with the many possibilities you've put together. And it's also very relaxing and fun exercise. Another important tip. Try to explore forms there are related to the topic that you are talking about. For example, you are creating visual notes on nurse 30 plants you can play with farms. There are book and sheets related. Moving to the next visual element, let's talk about dividers. Dividers work like containers, but they are even simpler. Dividers are also used to separate and organize information with a simple straight line. You can separate two chunks of information making clear that they are related but not part of the same text. They are really useful in this point because it's like you are applying a visual pulse to the content, making it easier to kind of digest information later on. As with containers, you can go crazy with the shapes and possibilities. You can create a divider with geometric forms, with lines and circles, with dots, with wavy lines. Have fun with the possibilities. Like in the containers practice, I like to start filling a page with lines of different lengths. Then I ink them in different styles and materials. It's okay if you repeat some styles and materials, it's a practice. And the more you repeat those elements, they will come more naturally to you during your visual note-taking. Also, if you are feeling a bit stuck in this first practice, check out the visual library PDF file on the projects and resources tab. There you have a few examples and practice exercises that might help you at the beginning in this class, we've talked about how to use basic farms to create visuals. And we started out visual library, a place of practice and reference for the visual elements we will be using on our visual notes, we've got to learn more about containers and fibers and how they are useful to organize information on the page, on the lesson about page layout. You will also see how they are really useful to put together a cohesive and well-structured layout. Now to practice more on your visual notes and to fill the rest of your page or pages, I encourage you to search for references on why Pinterest, for example, has many examples like this for you to use on bullet journaling icons and so on. Try searching for keywords like visual notes, containers are visual dividers. You can catalogue these references in your visual library. At the beginning, you might feel that you are copying to merge. But the point here is to observe. And with practice, you see that you are going to develop your own style and a way of representing things. For now, focus on the simple elements we've seen, containers and dividers. Don't forget to share your progress in your class project. On our next class, we will continue to explore the visual elements for our visual library, continuing with arrows and bullets, See you there.
8. Arrows and Bullets: It's time to add more visual elements to our visual library. Now, we're going to talk about two types of elements that might seem a bit small in terms of size, but they make a lot of difference in the flow of your visual notes. Arrows are elements that you use to guide the information in a certain order. They are useful to point out the flaw of reading and they help a lot when your notes are being built in an organic and not so structured matter. Like in this example, arrows can come in many sizes and forms. With time, you will find out your favorite type of arrow. The one you feel more comfortable with. I, for example, loved drawing this type of arrow with this world in its body, this type of error, which kind of my default. I draw it like this without even thinking talking about favorites. That's one of the things I'm most fascinated about, visual notes and building a visual vocabulary with time and practice, you will notice that some types of visual representations will come more naturally to you. You won't have to think hard about them. It's like your hand, just know the choreography and goes on its own. This is a form of building your style or perhaps MIC, showing your visual personality. And other thing fascinating about it is that ED is in static at all. The more you practice, the more you change. And when you want to list specific items in an organized way, that's when bullets come in handy. You can use basic form like dots, circles, squares, or use sequence of numbers and letters for an ordered list. For example, let's just say I'm planning a trip to Japan. I wish I already started my visual nodes planning page here. And now I want to list which close item I want to bring. Let's say, two pairs of bands, two skirts, six pairs of socks, and so on. As a bonus, I also jumped ahead a bit and added some drawings on it. Also, I want to list some cities I went to visit. And I want to add another list of interesting places from this series. So here you have an example of the use of these visual elements with a special participation from other elements we've seen on the previous lessons. Like containers. Again, I encourage you to explore more visual alternatives for your bullets and arrows. Use the visual notes PDF file to check out other references in styles. Don't forget to share your exercises and practice with us posting on your class project. On our next lesson, we'll dive into the written words and learn how we can explore them visually. See you there.
9. Titles, Typography and Handwriting: Now we are halfway done on our visual library. So far, we've already explored some basic visual elements, and now it's time to check out the visual possibilities of the written words. But first, I want to make some points clear here. In this class, we're not going to learn into detail the differences and specifics about typography, calligraphy, handwriting, laddering, and so on. One, because I don't consider myself an expert on these topics. And two, because there are fabulous classes about those subjects here on skill share, I will leave the links and references of some classes I've already took and recommend. I also encourage you to explore more and share your recommendations on the Discussion tab. I think is always helpful to go further honors studies. Being clear on that, on this lesson, we are going to explore the visual representations of words as a whole. And again, of course, you can really benefit from classes are flattering calligraphy and typography. But if you are a beginner on these topics, don't worry, just follow my lead and you'll be fine. To make things simpler at the beginning, I want you to try to distinguish two main styles when you write on your visual notes. One for the titles and other for the longer bits of reading information. Why is this different so important? You might ask, basically, it's because it gives a sense of hierarchy on your work. And these hierarchy and organization is essential to create well-structured visual notes. Let's check out this example here. You can see that these bigger titles give us a clear idea on where the pieces of information start, even without other visual elements like containers. Titles work as visual anchors without reading the page in detail, you can already have an idea of the main topics of the note and you can easily find a certain piece of information. Now, let's start to exercise and explore titles visually. First, let's start with a simple title using capital letters for my notes, especially when I have to do them in a faster pace. This is my go-to title option. Sometimes I use the simpler type of Titan Penzu. And when I ink my notes later, I add more depth and personality to it, like in the second option with a boulder title. Now you see the title is stands out even more. And again, you can start playing with possibilities. You can try brush calligraphy like in this example. Or you can try to emulate serif topography like in this other example, serif fonts have these details on them which create a straight baseline, making it more comfortable for reading. And that's why this type of font is largely used on printed books, for example. I'm personally a fan of the style I like how it tries to emulate topography found on printed books. But at the same time, it ends up having a DIY lose feeling to it. At this point, you can see that the more details you put into your letters, the more time it takes to finish them. And also, if every word you write on paper stands out, then at the end, nothing will really stand out. That's why it's important to also include a regular handwriting to certain parts of your visual notes. This way, your notes will have more balance. Hierarchy of importance will work best. User handwriting for a longer sentences, for a short description of listed items are longer quotes. You can also explore more styles of handwriting, but be sure that they are comfortable to you and they don't take longer to write. In this class, we got to explore more about the written part of our visual notes. Written words have so many visual possibilities. I hope that after this lesson you will get as excited as I am about it. Start trying out different styles on our visual library PDF file, you find other examples and practices for your titles and handwriting. Check out there and again, explore other types of letters and font styles. You can search online or even in the books you have at home. And keep practicing and sharing your work through your class project. On our next class, we'll work on the last visual elements are for visual library. Come with me to learn more about icons, diagrams, graphics, and other drones. See you there.
10. Icons and Other Drawings: Now that we have already practice a lot of structure elements in our visual library, it's time to work on less abstract and more meaningful visual representations. We'll start with icons. We can say that icons are visual representations of concepts, themes, and ideas. With a drawing of a tree, for example, you can express more complex concepts such as nature, environment, growth, family, and so on. An icon offers smart phone, for example, can be used to represent concepts such as technology, mobility, social media, and others, depending on the context that it's been inserted into. But at this point, you were wondering, what's the difference between icons and drawings? When we are creating our visual notes, it's pretty obvious that we are drawing the icons by hand as a regular drawing, but an icon aims at the margin, Eric, and visually simpler representation. Let's compare these two visual representations of a light bulb, for example. The first one is really simple. You can clearly identify basic shapes on it, like a circle on the top and a rectangle on the bottom. As for the second one, it has a more realistic approach, trying to capture all the details of a light bulb, such as the inside filament and bottom details. We can say that the first one is more connected to the iconic representation of a lightbulb because it has a less detail and more generic outcome. Because of that, it's also easier and faster to reproduce in a series of visual notes. If you're an experienced visual artists, you can incorporate more detailed drawings on your notes. But if you are a beginner, I recommend you to start with D iconic representations. Explore variation on your icons. Study different forms of representing ideas and concepts that constantly appear on your notes. And you will see that your visual representations will gradually improved. I, for example, create a lot of nodes on design and technology related topics. So visual representations of technological gadgets like computers and smartphones constantly appear on my work. And I have already developed this default way of drawing them. So let's do a quick practice. First, I'm going to write three concepts or ideas I want to represent through icons. I want to write about things that make me happy. For example, I can also use these icons on my final project of visual notes about myself. So it's interesting if you follow the suggestion, let's start three things that make me happy. Let's say smell of coffee, a fresh start, and caring. So this tiny list contains some abstract concepts and some concrete ideas in situations. Let's start with the first one, smell of coffee. I love to start my mornings with coffee. For this, I want to represent a coffee mug that shows the freshness in it. I can use the basic forms to create a small mug. Just start with a rectangle and a semicircle here. Some wavy lines on top to represent the smell coming out of it. And tiny hearts to show how much I love it. And I can also try variations as smaller, mug, fewer heart, and so on. The second one is more complex, a fresh start. When I think about a fresh start, I see a blank page, a list of things waiting to be checked, a set of goals to be accomplished to represent these ideas. I can also start with a basic square and rectangle forms like drawing a note book opened with blank pages. A big square can represent a panel of goals fixed on the wall, or a simple rectangle can represent a to-do list. And the last abstract concept, caring for me, carrying insoluble, love, giving and receiving it. So I can explore shapes of hard to represent this concept. I can draw two speech bubbles with hearts in them to represent a loving conversation between two people that care for each other. Our rectangle filled with lines and a heart can represent a carrying letter from someone. See, there are many possibilities and you can explore them, starting with drawings of basic shapes. Icons benefit a lot from common sense representations to get inspired by other icon ideas. I recommend you to search online on websites like Pinterest and also on Google Image. Make a list of concepts, ideas, and things that you would find useful to catalog. Search for the keyword plus icon on Google Images and draw using the results as reference. This way, you will grow your visual library on the visual library PDF file. There's also a list of words and examples of icons you can practice with. Check it out. Finally, I also added diagrams and graphics to the list of elements of your visual library because they are extremely useful to represent data and complex ideas visually, graphics and diagrams are specially used to represent the information visually in scientific papers and academic research. However, just like you see on means, you can kind of subvert the series approach of this graphics to represent fun and ordinary ideas. You can also check out other examples and practice of diagrams and graphics on the visual library PDF file. Also, don't forget to share your work in progress through your class project. In this class, we finished the foundations of our visual library. So far, we've learned and practice a lot from basic forms to more elaborate ones. This is only the beginning and I encourage you to keep filling the pages of your visual library. Remember, the more you practice, the easier it gets. Next class, we will see how we can put together all the visual elements into a well structured layout. See you there.
11. Page layout: So glad that you are still with me. So far, we've practiced the basic visual elements and now it's time to learn how to organize them on the page. But first, let's talk a little bit about the importance of structure in visual notes. As you might have noticed, there's a huge amount of visual possibilities to incorporate Honour notes. But if they are not well-thought out, if there isn't a clear order to follow, you get loss when reading and revising them in your notes might come out a little bit confusing. That's a huge problem because one of the main goals of visual notes is to help you recall information quickly and more effectively. So what can you do to prevent that? You can start by using predefined patterns and structures for your page layout. For this class, I will show you five different types of layered structures, which are a mix between Mike roads and AV alotta lamps references. You can check out more about these references on the projects and resources tab. First, the linear pattern. This one is the most basic and traditional One. Direction is diagonal from top left to the bottom right of the page. This way, the flow of information is linear and might come off as a little bit rigid. Sometimes. A vertical pattern is similar to the linear one, with the direction from top to bottom. As a variation of this pattern, you can also draw a margin on the left side of the page and use it to concentrate the icons corresponding to the information on the right side. As well as the linear pattern. This type of structure is easier to put into action, but it can also be a little bit rigid. If you want to play with different types of grid into a page. A modular pattern is a great option. It divides the patient two distinct regions are modules. You can use a lot of containers and dividers on this one. But if you would like a more fluid and organic layout, a path pattern might be a good option. In this kind of pattern, you pre-define a shape or a flow direction and add the information following it. It requires a little more planning, but the results may impress you. Lastly, if you want more flexibility and a little bit of randomness, the popcorn are sprinkled pattern might be your choice. On this layer, you organize information in small segments randomly across the page. Just like popcorn popping are sprinkles on a cake. To help you come up with a more organized layout, you can use icons or repeat visual elements like bullets, arrows, and containers to anchor the bits of information. So many options of page layouts, heavy thought about which one are you going to try on your final project? Next lesson, we'll start to introduce ourselves in our media artists with visual notes. See you there.
12. Visual Notes in Action: After this introduction on visual node having covered from its basic elements to Page Layout, it's time to work on our final project. But first, since we are not graphic recording something, it's easier to separate the content beforehand. The project is inspired by the meteor artists challenge. But in this project, we are going to talk about ourselves using visual notes. I've already listed some items to help us brainstorm some information. Let's remember the list first at top five favorites, then where you live. Favorite hobbies, which you do for leaving, and anything that special or unique about you. Now, I'll start filling these items. I'll do a top five of my favorite books and graphic novels and authors. I'll start with a mysterious followed by David. Kelley then would put Turner region whoop, by Haruki Murakami, the bluest die by Toni Morrison, sapiens by UVA Mohammad Ali and editing by loosening easily, which is not a book title, is just that I love all of her books. So I live in Brasilia, Brazil. My favorite hobbies or past-time activities would be crochet, taking care of my planes, reading, cooking, and try new recipes. As for my job, I'm currently work as a graphic designer and also freelance illustrators slash artist slash now teacher at school share. In my notes page, I would also like to include some quotes that are meaningful to me, which I have already peaked here. One of them is from Paul Klee, One of my favorite artist, which says r does not reproduce the visible, it makes visible. And the other one is by victory you go. Whatever causes night in our souls may live stars. I would also like to include some info on what you find in my house, like plains ART from friends. And I want to include some small facts about me. And I think that's it. Okay. We are ready, have been full now it's time to blend the page. I will go with the popcorn sprinkle pattern. I will pick it because I like a more fluid and random design. But the challenge here is to keep an organized page. So be extra careful with the hierarchy structure of the information and the placing of elements and bits of information for that they have a good amount of space between them. To start, I will use a color pencil out quickly sketch the main areas here. Once the layout is define knowledge, start to organize the info with visual and written elements. After defining the layout with the colored pencil, start to the page and add more details to, as I mentioned before, the inking stage is a nice moment to add some details to correct some misspelled words and also try some different styles on your handwriting and titles.
