There is no denying the importance of keeping a journal. It is important to spend time reflecting upon the experiences that we encounter throughout our lives.

Most influential designers throughout history, including Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Goya, EI Greco, Isaac Newton, have maintained a journal in one form or another.

Graphic Journaling by Moh’D Bilbeisi introduces the architecture student to the wonderful world of graphic journals. Keeping a graphic journal is a journey and a quest for a perfection that might not be attained; however, it is the journey that matters.

Graphic Journaling:

  • is not a recipe for producing great graphic journals. Rather, it is a celebration of the work of many individuals who view the world as a series of lines to be scribed by their pens and pencils while trying to comprehend why things are the way they are!
  • includes carefully selected journaling paradigms/case studies from a wide gamut of submissions to illustrate different issues associated with intent, compositional aspects, and technique.
  • contains a colorful palette of styles and techniques.
