Scrapbook Entries/ Ideas

# data[].attributes.body
We met up to discuss how we would collate the material together. After browsing a few shops, we found a plain scrapbook which is big enough to fit postcards and diary entries. We also tried to look for postcards but given that all of them were too 'modern' we decided that Zoe could make a template and print those out on card instead.

This evening, I am going to review the photographs that she has uploaded onto Google Drive and write more journal entries and photo captions in response. I will then send these to Zoe who will hand-write them into the scrapbook.

If I were to run this project again, I would figure out an idea earlier on which we could both generate content for. I would also focus more on writing and asking my partner for feedback (this was not something that we bothered with and it made it harder to know what to expect from the other person as a result).

My partner, Zoe, is focusing on psychedelic posters from the 1960s (e.g., music festivals) for her degree. She had primarily focused on digital art in the past. Meanwhile, I generally stick to writing fantasy short stories.

As both of us wanted to try out something new, we decided to work on a 3D project (a scrapbook).

Midway through Week 1, I had created a large character profile which formed the basis of our project. Although I had not dated my character, we eventually decided that she would fit in with a 1960s environment (she is a failed housewife with no husband or children). We went down this route as it fits in with Zoe's degree topic.

Given that we are working on a scrapbook, I focused particularly on my character's childhood, university years and a bit on her life after dropping out.

Presently, the scrapbook includes her diary entries, postcards she received (or wrote and never sent), photographs + captions and some extraneous shopping lists, reminders, souvenirs, etc.

The initial 'prompt' had been to draw portraits. As seen below, however, Zoe does not like drawing people. We eventually came up with an idea for Zoe to draw an object which my character could stumble across (with the idea being that we would write about this). This idea was not used but the incident proved useful to me in terms of learning more about how Zoe operates.

In the meantime, I would write rough drafts of the diary entries, postcards, etc, and send them to Zoe. We want to have the entries handwritten for authenticity's sake and her handwriting is considerably neater than my own.

Our main problem so far has been following through on the ideas generated during our meetups. Both of us had a hard time creating work when we weren't 100% sure on what the other person was doing. We eventually met up in the library on the 17th and came up with a definitive plan of which one of us would create content for the other to respond to.

As Zoe is going to Dublin and London (the latter being where my character is located), she decided to take the opportunity to take dozens of photos which I can then write in response to. She is also in an ideal position to find any souvenirs that could fit in a scrapbook.
