A New Memory Keeping Project
First, as I know you enjoy hearing about my studio happenings, personal projects and the like, I have some news to share with you, but this studio update is a little different :)
For the first time, I’m starting a new memory keeping project, but one that’s in conjunction with a special class from another designer . . .
I know that she has poured her heart and soul into this class and project, she has gone all out, and it’s more than just a class, I know it will be an exciting experience to practice and hone new skills, one that provides structure and accountability to keep on track, along with encouragement and support to inch you closer to your goals.
The class i’m talking about is the ‘Special One Creative Photobook Project’ which is hosted by the crazy talented Anna Aspnes.
The reasons I’m taking this class:
This looks like such a fun project that I intend to print as a photobook, plus, the class itself, will bring a wanted shake up to my creative process.
I’ve always been curious about Anna’s creative workflow, she is a prolific creative and I admire and respect the work she does unequivocally. I’m so excited to actually learn from her behind the scenes.
She is teaching her five step process to creating double pages without the use of a template. I’m curious to see what her approach is, and to see how I might like to streamline or change my own creative processes going forward . . .
I’m excited to follow this ‘prompt based’ class and project. Prompts always make me think outside of the box, and is how I create with the Hear My Voice Brand. I enjoy the challenge that single words or small phrases bring, I love how a thought provoking prompt or little word can ignite a whole new and big story idea.
I’m really interested to hear what her fun techniques are that she’s noted she’ll be teaching, she promises they will inject Pizzaz into my artistry!
Different to how I normally work, an opportunity to work in a more print ready format vs the loose and eclectic haphazard way I’m used to.
Right now, I’m in the planning stages of what my themed book will actually be, and what format (which finished size photobook) I’ll be creating that in.
I’ll keep you posted and share some of my creations with you!

Well, you made me look! I seriously pondered the "Special One" class, but the timing is really off for me. However, I did see that Anna has some PSE specific classes that I may have to work through. I've figured out a LOT in PSE, but either what's out there is either too basic, it doesn't go quite far enough to answer my questions, or I've not found the right sources. So thanks for that heads up!
