The Studio-book • The Studio-book is a daily record of your design activities; learning, ideas, comments, questions and development. Anyone should be able to pick up your Studio-book and understand what you have gone through from your written account. This must be the main thing - you are writing for someone else. The Studio-book will be reviewed regularly and will be graded as part of your course grade.
The Studio-Book Organization • •

• • • • • •
Use a hardcover Notebook. Buy a hardcover notebook. If you finish a notebook during the semester, buy another one and label as 2. Title page. Give a page to state your name, address and other contact info, as you might lose the book, and a brief indication of its purpose - 'Design Studio 3 Studiobook-1', for example. Number the pages. Tedious but essential. Do it when the notebook is new. Page numbers at right-lower part of page. Table of contents Give two pages to the Contents so that you can list the contents and find them easily when needed. Writing Write before, during and after each studio session. Don't leave empty pages and don't tear out pages.
