RVJ
Key Principles
- Draw, Work By Hand
- Utilize Your Creative Brain
Creating a RVJ is essential and an important aspect when developing ideas within a project. It is the creative process that gradually becomes your thoughts, your feelings, and imagination in a book.
Draw, Work By Hand
Whilst creating an RVJ, drawing and working by hand is very important it is essential as it enables you to engage a physical connection through sketching, thumbnails, rough drawings and doodles all apart of ones creative thinking and development process. However whilst thinking on the page is essential in terms of a way of recording, it is vital to remember thats it shouldn't be random it should be recording and exploring the process and ideas of your given theme.
Leonardo
Leonardo piece above is a great example of thinking on the paper. His sketches are full of inventions, drawings and speculations of possible machinery and various products. This is entirely visual recording and creating by drawing. Drawing is a way of getting your ideas out your head, onto paper making it clearer and hopefully gaining a better understanding of your ideas in which you can then later develop. Constantly drawing and sketching throughout a project is almost a way of visual problem solving.
Being a visual creative your imagination is always flowing, being free to explore and not limiting yourself is important. It is important to not suspend your habitual critical judgement and to stop your inner critic from exploring, there are no barriers to mark making or childlike play.
Lizzie Finn
Lizzie Finn uses a combination of fabrics and drawn elements and other materials within her work. She doesn't limit herself which enables her to come up with and produce imaginative outcomes. Being able to work with a range of materials and have fun and experiment is also a good way of throwing around ideas being able to see different possible outcomes of what you feel works and what doesn't.
Utilize Your Creative Brain
Learning how to manage and understand ideas is very useful and it helps with your creative process, benefits your time management and enables you to understand your ideas to a better level. We have two brains, there are two halves left and right. Each side has specific abilities and the way they function enable us to understand the process thats going on. Being cautious of this can help a great deal with you creativity.
Right Brain 'child' experimental play
spontaneous, play, fun, adventure, moves freely through time, carefree,innocent,curious,sensitive,easily frightened,likes to experiment etc.
Left Brain 'accountant' analyse
organized, clarify, editing, observing, sensible, questions a lot of things,
what is useful,? is it appropriate?
The above images show an example of the right and left brain, and the possible outcomes

We all can familiarise with being like this, there are times when we are fully engage in something and nothing can distract us,it is when our inner child can be bought out being care free and imaginative as well as times were we are more cautious and sensible somewhat more alert an aware.
When these two halves work together they compliment one another and allows us to create and come up with imaginative outcomes and thoughts.
Being aware of which mode we operate in is useful because we then can learn to utilize what is useful, what to do, and how to manage our brain. The creative process we go through constantly repeats therefore changing brain modes making us speculate an interrogate, left to right, right to left. Play shouldn't be random doodling but exploring the theme allowing the right brain to explore direction, general intention not particularly specific.
