1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 24 Jan 2008
By Sarah (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
Firstly I should say that I am not a journaller - however I often buy books on this subject as they often contain good ideas that can be transferred to other media, or they are simply just beautiful to look at. In addition I recognise that people keep journals for a range of different reasons, all of which I feel are valid: a diary recording events or emotions, creative art, exploring (design) ideas, studying etc. Unfortunately the ideas and results portrayed in this book are such that I cannot see the point of them. The designs are too shallow to provide any insight, and too pictorially simplistic to provide any artistic interest. Some of the text is interesting, but not sufficient to warrent having bought the book. Overall very disappointing, and I would suggest only a complete beginner would derive any benefit from the contents.

4.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful starting point., 30 Mar 2009
By Cohi (London) - See all my reviews
This is a lovely book that doesn't deserve the one star rating that is above mine.

As mentioned, it is simple book, but with lovely ideas. As the title suggests, it's the perfect book for someone who wants to begin an art journal but doesn't know where to start. Yes, it's a beginners book, but that's exactly what it's intended to be.

Even though I now have very different styles than when I first read this, every time I look at it I get new ideas and inspiration for things I would like to do.

A beautiful book that I would suggest to anyone looking for a non-threatening entry to art journaling.
