Sketchbook
I have sketchbooks for design projects and sketchbooks for drawing, doodling, and just taking a break from the stress of life. I think drawing is restorative and allows you to create freely—with no sense of time or lofty end goals to be achieved. In my introductory graphic design course, I encourage students to keep a sketchbook for creative work that is unrelated to class projects. Because a blank sketchbook can be an intimidating thing, I have developed a series of drawing prompts and examples to help students slow down and take some time to just draw for fun.
