DIY | Collage your Moleskine notebook


Happy new year everyone!
So in an attempt to take the new year as a whole new opportunity, I wrote down some resolutions for this year.
One of them is to do more of what makes me happy.
I LOVE collages. So I decided to take the crafty route with it.
Here is a quick tutorial on how to make your own. 





























WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
- A plain Moleskine notebook.
- A scissor.
- A glue stick.
- A magazine or two.
- Any other scraps you find interesting
[ In my case, I used Mcdonald's paper-bag]

P.S. you can find Moleskine notebooks [here]

STEPS:
- Lay down the materials for your project.
- Pick a theme for the cover you'll create and start cutting out images you like from the magazine & scraps to match your theme, or you can have something completely random!





























- Start shaping up your cut-outs and play around with the placement until you come to a result you like.
- Before you start sticking it with the glue, take a picture of your collage just for reference if things go wrong while gluing.




























- Once you've finalized and glued your design, don't throw away any leftover cut-outs. They might come in handy for your next notebook or any other artsy project. ;)


























Voila! My own DIY customized notebook cover. :D

Enjoy! And please share your results if you collage your moleskine!

Looking onto the impact of Turkish soap-operas in the region, particularly in KSA; I made this comic book to reflect people's obsession that came along with it, highlighting the most popular series and characters like Muhannad for example.
There were some really shocking yet funny incidents I came across while searching about the topic that I've included inside.

P.S. I know I previously posted about this but luckily for me, I was able to make few final amendments before the night of our graphic design exhibition. And so here I'm sharing my favourite spreads.
