Research:
In this project, we had to create a sketchbook that we could use during this semester and even after it. I did some research to get some inspiration, especially for the hidden element. Here are the pictures of the ideas that I founded:
Exercise/Activities:
For the exercise we tried different binding methods and pages organization:
We also did a mindmap for a prompt that we chose from a given list:
Iterations:
First I started with writing down ideas and things I want and don’t in my sketchbook:
Also, I wrote down the materials and the things that I would like to have for a hidden element:
Stating to understand how I would like to have in my sketchbook, I started drawing my first idea in Adobe Illustrator:
Production:
After cutting both covers, pages, and hidden elements in the laser cutter, I assembled everything together:
In this project, I gained more new experiences like learning how to use the laser cutter and learned more about having a purpose behind the design that I make.
