Before there was Pintrest
When I was in high school, I started cutting up magazines and collecting inspiring images in a large 11" x 14" sketchbook. There was no rhyme or reason to the layouts. I simply gathered images I liked and taped them onto the pages. They became my reference books for inspiration when I need to design. Sadly, once I entered the corporate world of design, these books disappeared from my daily routine. What I did discover, however, was Pinterest. As I sat behind the computer all day, Pinterest provided a new source of inspiration.
While I still love the idea of cutting up paper and creating a physical book of inspiration, it just does not fit with my current lifestyle. After a long day with the kids, I enjoy snuggling up in bed with my husband, watching tv, and "creating" something online. These photos show a glimpse of my old paper and tape sketchbooks. Stay tuned for the next post, and I will share the first page of my new digital sketchbook...
