I have kept written journals for more than 20 years, but at some point I realized that I wanted my journals to contain more images and color. I always had added copies of photographs to my journals - but I wanted to learn to make art in my books. Art that make me remember my feelings at the time more completely when I went back to review my journal books years later.

Over the past two months, I've been reading through this book a bit at a time. Visual journals really fascinate me for a number of reasons. I've always gravitated towards collage aesthetics, but merging those images and found objects with journaling seems even more promising and rewarding!

A quick read but potent visual smorgasbord, this manual is a sudden jolt into the world of visual journaling. It's not a manual of how-to-do, but a TO-do reference book full of ideas and triggers to get you journalling on a viSuAl bAsIs. I am both a writer and a visual artist, so this was like caffeinated candy for me. It really is visual ammunition for the art addict.
It's hard tonratebthis book. It's not a bad book if it is the first book you've read on journaling. The problem is that everything in the book is stuff I've already seen in several other books and blogs. There was really nothing new. However, if you are just getting into art journaling this is a great book on the basics.
There is point that books on visual journals become redundant. Nevertheless, this is a good go-to book on the topic which is written in plain speak about materials.
I really liked this book. Lots of ideas with out saying "You must do it this way" more of a gentle guideline. And really easy to understand.
Trying to learn how to jazz up my journals. I'm no artist, but I think I can learn how to take my art journal "experiment" to the next level.
Good ideas, but they are the same things we learned in elementary school. The book cover makes it look more hyped up than it really is.
Visual journaling book by two guys! Easy step-by-step for different techniques, several journal examples and ideas.
I liked how these guys approached sketchbook journaling....it's raw but the approach is "just do it!"
A decent overview of many visual journalling techniques. But nothing new here.
For the beginner. Nothing new.
Great book for visual artists!
Not my aesthetic.
I found this very inspiring!
A quidk read. Great ideas and tips. Looking forward to trying out some the techniques.
Although there was nothing in this book that was truly new for me, I loved the presentation of it, and the simple descriptions of the various techniques were very easy to understand. The visuals were great too.
