This post reminds me to my previous experience. During my college years, I received order of scrap books. Collecting magazines, splinting up the ads, combining them. I found it is very interesting. I definitely agree with your quote:
“Scrapbooks are a great source of inspiration. In effect you create your own graphic design book” so, keep up the good work. Regards.

“Perhaps you can write a post afterwards: “How to get through an uninspiring client project” to inspire others” – mmmm… not a good idea as diversionary tactics like blogging are my approach.

I have another post that may interest you too

WoW – 7.5 years each! That’s admirable!

Good luck with your client project. I know some of them can be quite uninspiring. Perhaps you can write a post afterwards: “How to get through an uninspiring client project” to inspire others

My group project deadline is May 17. If you find time for another inspirational entry, just let me know. Otherwise, I’ll include this post to my list. Thank you.

Hi Vivien

Give it a try, it doesn’t have to be quick each of mine have taken 7.5 years each

It would be great if you would like to include this article in your inspiration project. I will see if I can think of anything else too. I am currently artworking some smoke alarm packaging which I am not finding inspiring at all, but they pay the bills and I have some logos to work on tomorrow.

It was very interesting to see your scrapbooks evolution. I once had an idea to start such a scrapbook, but somehow didn't follow it. Perhaps I should give it a try. Tara, would you like to participate in my group writing project on Inspiration? You've already got this article ready, I can simply add this entry to my list, if you like. I'm sure many people would find this source of inspiration (scrapbook) helpful. Let me know, please.

Santosh I’m glad you are going to give it a try – maybe after a while you could post your scrap book to your blog too.

Matt, thanks for leaving a comment, my office looks like your study

Hi Tracey, I like your ideas of the people book I had never thought of doing that. There used to be some really old fashioned books that you could buy that had people in different poses but I don’t know if you can get them any more.

I do like Matt does – hoard. I also keep a scrapbook of people cut out of magazines because it comes in handy when I want an example of a particular posture as a guide when I’m drawing a person. I’ve been keeping the people scrapbook (I call it my Rogues Gallery) for more than ten years.
