RVJ (Reflective Visual Journal)
An RVJ is a vital part of any designers work, it shows reflective thinking of work which has been used consistently time and time again.
What is a RVJ
Well to me it is a portable bunch of your ideas. it is a vital tool if you like that shows the creative process that we as designers are making throughout our journey of learning and understanding. also it acts like a safe house for ideas, ideas not only in written form bud in doodling, scribbling and sketching' s. but once you have the basic idea then it s a matter of time before you start to explore a vast range of methods and techniques which also starts to help build you're understanding.
Sketching and drawing helps to get ideas out of your head and into your RVJ, that way you get more ideas onto the page than you would if you were to think of them just in your mind and that way you would be only able to most likely come up with maybe two or even three ideas.
Thats not the only reason why I think sketching should be done in your RVJ, but it also develops your skills when it comes to dawning, you have more sense and meaning, it enables you as a designer to create a physical connection between your hand, eye and the brain. That way you get a more in depth understanding to what you are trying to communicate.
