As I have written all types of books can become the canvas of visual journaling and different books lend themselves to different projects. Books from second hand stores, poem anthologies, old children’s books and school text books can all serve this purpose. Also, books that have had an influence on us can become the canvas of our creativity and expressive writing. A great example of this type of engagement with books is Ron Huxley’s altered DSM book, which I think is worth looking at. I haven’t really taken my own DSM-IV book down from the shelf since the completion of the related courses of a Master’s programme, but after looking at Ron Huxley’s creative transformation of it I think it could prove an interesting idea. It would at least definitely bring back memories of tutorials, exams, tutors and colleagues.
