First steps
Before I started creating this journal, I began with sketches, as is the case at the start of any project. The next steps involved researching and gathering information about what the competition offers, so I could approach the design appropriately. During the project, I received valuable advice from mothers about what I could add to the content and what was unnecessary. After creating the first version of the journal, I discovered several mistakes I had made, both in the design and in the prepress preparation. As a result, I had to roll up my sleeves once again and fix these issues.
Challenge
The idea for this project was born out of my desire to create a journal that would allow parents to revisit their most treasured memories with their child at a glance. The real challenge, however, arose when I had to prepare the journal for printing. It was my first encounter with such a process, but despite the uncertainties, I managed to overcome it—proving that even unfamiliar tasks can be tackled with determination and a strong will.

Design
- Graphic Style: Watercolor illustrations of animals and natural elements create a sense of softness and warmth, perfectly complementing the baby-themed concept.
- Color Palette: Pastel shades of green, blue, pink, and beige add harmony and a calming touch to the design.
