Private Journals - Ken Carbone

How many of us have those personal little books that designers and artist have and that look like little treasures that they always carried with them? I always try to start one but I have never finished one. They always look colorful and filled with sketches and images, ideas, collages, words and pictures.

Here in this link, Ken Carbone and his private journals Ken Carbone from Carbone Smolan, a design and branding agency in New York show how he's continued keeping a journal for some 15 years, but those books are not just personal diaries they are really inspiration for his design practice. The side benefit, he says, is that the habit has now trained him to pay closer attention to his environment--to slow down enough to really see what's around him.

I will start working on one, but this time I fill it to the end!
