I have an idea. I think for the sake of this specific blog, we can compare my idea to that of building one's own home. My idea is largely dependent on location and functionality of the space. So, If I was building my own home, I'd definitely have to make a list of everything i'd want outside as well as inside the house. Seems obvious right? But, what's the best, most efficient way to record and manage all of this information? There's lighting, and carpeting, and gardens to think about, not to mention tables, desks, chairs, beds, stoves, fridges, and entertainment units. Bricks, driveways, paint, garage doors, and patios.
That's a lot. And I haven't even begun to touch upon a fraction of what's required for the entire process from beginning to end.
I need an easy system for documenting what i want and what i need. text is great, but visuals are better. everybody knows that.
What i really need then, is a scrapbook. An entirely graphic representation of my idea. An all inclusive view of my house-to-be. A map, in a way, to the final destination. And I like maps. This scrapbook looks as if its going to turn out to be quite the multi-purpose tool.
I can see this scrapbooking thing turing into something of an obsession. I'll be collaging and pasting and flipping through ikea catalogues like a mad woman, dreaming of the day I can actually make a purchase and get my hands on a fucking primo shelving unit. You know, for all the books in my future library :)
I simply cannot wait to get started...
