Calling all artists and writers! I need opinions!
9 years ago
Hi there and thank you for looking at my wonderful journal here! I need some opinions and everyone matters :p
So here is the story; I have done a great deal of research looking around for a sketchbook that contains both lines and blank paper. Now you may be asking yourself, "Now why doesn't this dummy just carry a journal and a sketchbook?" Well Mr. Rudepants, I am the kind of artist that lovvvveeeesss to practice my writing and drawing in the same book so if I lose it, i'm losing all of my soul as opposed to half my soul. I like to draw on some times, and write on another time, so it will all be in the same place for me. Anyway, all I have come up with is a book with half the page blank and the rest lined which would make me feel like a first grader, so no.
This is where you come in! I am designing a book myself that I will print and assemble for myself and (my hope) others who will find it equally as useful. Hopefully when i come to a conclusion with what you help me with, i will start selling them on my shop on Etsy for a decent price. :D I am looking for opinions on how these pages should be formatted first. What do you think would be the most effective for you?
Here are the options:
1) Blank front, all lined back (college ruled, for the record).
2) Blank front, half lined back.
3) Blank page front and back, then full lined page front and back, and so on.
4) Blank page front and back with small transparent date with a line on top, then full lined page front and back with small transparent date with a line on top, and so on.
5) Blank page front and back, then half lined page front and back, and so on.
Then the other options that I will have is different thickness of papers from 50lb to 60lb to 80 lb paper.
What do you prefer to work on?
Finally, a customizable cover. Would it be cool to have a picture of yours on the cover of your own sketchbook/journal?
Thank you for you help!
The more people that see this, the better. Please spread the word! I will be reading all your comments; I promise <3
Sincerely with love,
Scout

Maybe the first page or the first 2 pages are blank, that's where you can draw and then after that, 4 pages that are college ruled. idk, tbh. XD
