Art and Creative Idea Journal - Solar Spectrum Press

Tackle your fear of the blank page!

I originally designed this journal for myself. I wanted something offline to jot down all my creative ideas. Like many artists and creatives, I already own several notebooks and journals, but they have largely remained blank.

Then it hit me. There is something about an empty page that instills fear. I'm not sure why? But it is a very real phenomenon.

To help counter this, I designed each page in this journal to have sections for noting ideas, planning a color scheme or palettes, sketching, and adding references. No scary blank pages!

If you are like me and need order and organization in your life to help stay inspired and mentally uncluttered, then this art and creative idea journal is for you.

I hope you fill every single page.
