Sketched Out: Artistic Sketchbooks and Journals Unveiled
Sketched Out: Artistic Sketchbooks and Journals Unveiled offers an intimate dive into the personal pages of 55 artists from around the world. This book celebrates the raw essence of the creative process, revealed through sketchbooks and journals used for doodling, experimenting, or jotting down ideas. From Grace Helmer to Irene Saputra, Jill Senft, and Tom Froese, each artist unveils a part of their universe, with special contributions from Pavel Ripley and Takeuma enriching this fascinating collection. Readers are invited to discover the inspiration behind the final works and immerse themselves in the visual thoughts of these creators.
The cover of Sketched Out perfectly reflects this unfiltered creative process. Designed as a tribute to sketchbooks themselves, it features dynamic and varied artwork, mirroring the diversity of the creative minds within. Inferi, the captivating serif typeface by Matthieu Salvaggio from Blaze Type, gives a unique character to the title and section headings, highlighting the blend of chaos and structure inherent to the artists’ work. The typewriter typeface used for text, captions and page numbers is Pitch by Kris Sowersby of Klim Type Foundry. Victionary, the agency behind this project, captured the spontaneity and energy emanating from these sketchbooks while respecting the creative process of each contributor.
