Visiting professional Jo Blaker was very insightful as she showed me the different ways to use sketchbooks within my work and how I can adapt this to my personal practise, however I feel her practise isn’t necessary applicable to graphic design and they way I personally work. Despite this her talk was particularly helpful as I currently don’t work well in a sketchbook however I plan to experiment with some of her techniques uses in order to develop my ideas more effectively. Throughout her talk Jo discussed where she gets her ideas from and how she develops her ideas. This was particularly interesting as she gets her inspiration from nature and different materials and textures however this is a personal interpretation of the world meaning inspiration can come from anywhere as long as its personal to you. Therefore making it easier to adapt some of her approaches to my work and what inspires me. Whilst looking through her sketchbooks I found it very interesting as they where all very different collections of drawings, sketches and experimentations showing me you can be very fluid and unstructured with your approach to using a sketchbook and this usually produces more interesting ideas and developments.
