Oh, how I love sketches---maybe not all of the time, but they are so good for many things. I use them to get me out of a creative rut, I use them when I want to start and finish a layout in one sitting, I use them when I just don't want to think about every.single.step of creating a layout. But most of all I like them because they are versatile. You can take them and use them EXACTLY how they are, or you can change them just a
little tiny bit, or use them as inspiration and make your final layout barely resemble the original sketch.
This year I have decided that I want to get LOTS of layouts done. So my plan is to create a layout (either free form, or from a sketch) and use that layout as an exact blueprint (or sketch) for a second layout. I feel like the second layout comes together so quickly, so I really feel like I'm being productive! So basically, I'm using every layout I create as a sketch for the next layout. I'm limiting myself to 2 identical layouts at a time, because I don't want to get bored.
Here are a few sketches to inspire you this month from
