WORKSHEET
DESIGN JOURNAL
Document the role of design in your life. Start a journal in which you record at least
one interesting design object you encounter each day. Keep up your journal for at
least two weeks.
Make sketches, tape or paste down supporting images, and write notes to help
document the experience of using each design object. Make sure your journal is
portable so you can bring it wherever you go.
Alternately, you can start a digital journal using a social media app like Pinterest
(http://pinterest.com/). Just make sure that you’ve personally encountered and used
each object you record.
Reflect on your top 5 favorite design objects after several days of journaling. What
did you like about the way they looked or how they functioned? What role does each
of the objects play in your life?
