Reviews
A course by A Journal by Annie
Annie Weir - the artist behind A Journal by Annie - specializes in bullet journaling. She studied graphic design at university in her home country of Scotland, but Annie never went on to work in graphic design roles and instead chose to pursue her love of painting and traditional illustration. In 2017 she discovered bullet journaling by chance on Instagram, and fell in love with the activity. So much so that in 2018 Annie started her first ‘proper’ bullet journal and created her Instagram account @ajournalbyannie to share her journaling online.
It wasn’t long before brands and potential clients began noticing her work and she was able to turn A Journal by Annie into a business. She has collaborated with various brands and publications including Rescue Remedy, My Life Handmade, Gaston Luga, and Simply Lettering Magazine. As well as this Annie also sells her artwork and products online.

Consiglio questo corso sia a chi vuole approcciarsi per la prima volta al mondo del Bullet Journal, sia a chi, questo mondo, già lo conosce. Annie spiega tutto in modo molto chiaro, semplice ed esaustivo, regalando spunti creativi interessanti, non perdendo mai di vista l'aspetto funzionale del BuJo. P.S. adoro le sue grafiche minimal!

I enjoyed this introduction to bullet journaling. I especially liked the clear, crisp and concise approach of the tutor. I now feel like I can start bullet journaling and not feel intimidated by the artistic element that seems to, though not necessarily, come with it.
