NubbyTwiglet has an interesting idea for a visual journal/scrapbook: a Typography Notebook.
I read a lot of magazines and find amazing type everywhere I look. Instead of keeping these images loose (and just waiting to get lost), I began gluing them into an inexpensive Muji notebook that I deemed my ‘Typography Notebook’ about two years ago. Now, when I need to locate an image, I can quickly flip through instead of digging through piles of clippings.
I love this idea! My issue is I usually notice typography on signage & the like—not really clipping friendly. Still, I think I’ll give this a whirl. I’ve been pretty font crazy since I read Just My Type by Simon Garfield. Highly recommended.
