For my journal I have decided to go with the theme of 'unpredictability'. I will be exploring analogue materials using various unpredictable techniques and processes, hopefully creating alluring outcomes. There will be no sense of planning when creating my outcomes to emphasise that idea of unpredictability. I will go about it by not caring about visually creating something amazing, instead just go with the flow and if mistakes happen, it adds to my whole concept. I aim to use a real variety of materials from paint to coffee to bleach. I will use unusual ways in which to put these on the page from splatting to blowing. I could also perhaps look at the other side - look at digital techniques. I could maybe scan these into Photoshop and add some digital techniques. Maybe I could do half the journal analogue the other half digital, but then again my theme is unpredictability so maybe I should just stick to analogue techniques. Both Aura and William Morris's theory of craft and the uniqueness of analogue has inspired me.
