About the final project for: Bullet Journaling: Illustrated Planning

Bullet Journaling: Illustrated Planning

“Thank you so much for taking part in this course. I really enjoyed sharing my tips and tricks with you about using watercolor in your bullet journal. I hope you've had fun too and feel inspired to use this beautiful medium in your journal. I'm really excited to see what sort of themes you come up with. With all the information you've learned, it's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the images you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Let me sum up the steps to create your final bullet journal pages. Keep in mind that all these steps are optional. A bullet journal is a personal project and you should only make and create logs that are helpful to you. Refer to the pictures below to see an example of how to present your course project: Gathering Inspiration The first thing you will need to do is collect inspiration. Choose a topic for your monthly theme. Let yourself be inspired by the BuJo community or take a look on Pinterest to find a topic that you like.

The Sketches Take a pencil and make rough sketches in a sketchbook or directly in your journal. Once you are happy with your drawings, you can design the logs in your journal. Including a cover page, a monthly log, tracker pages, and a weekly spread.
The Watercolor The next step is to add the paints to your pages. If you're using watercolor, remember to start with the lightest colors and keep adding darker tones until you're satisfied. You can use gouache or metallic paint to add some extra details.
The Final Details The last step is adding the final details with a fine liner pen. Consider drawing boxes, adding lines, and making tiny illustrations.
And that's all! Once you've finished your project, be sure to make full use of your journal to plan and clear your head. Add tasks, events, and thoughts to the pages and make your life more organized. I can't wait to see what you've come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. Good luck! And remember I'll be here on hand to answer all your questions in the forum. I'm excited to see your beautiful projects! Love, Manon. ”

“ Final Project Hi there, we've finished the course and I wanted to take some time to summarize the steps you have to do to create your final project. First, I told you a bit about myself, my hobbies, my work, and how I got into bullet journaling. I shared some inspiration with you in the hope that it would inspire you too. We then looked at the materials needed to create your final project. I gave you a short introduction to bullet journaling, the way Ryder Carroll invented it, then I showed you the benefits and my take on it. We learned about the essential pages at the beginning of your b...”
