Had quite a productive meeting today. I spoke about turning my diary entries into dada poetry as I still want to keep this period of my life secretive. I got some positive views and some interesting feedback. I was told that I should maybe think opposite to a diary because it might be more interesting to do things that don't associate with diaries. Especially as I am using dada poetry, something which you wouldn't necessarily see in one. So I was told to maybe do a series of posters... 12, one for each year - like a diary format. I quite like this idea, because it refers back to my original intention:
A conventional diary, with an unconventional design.
I was also told to look at Tom Phillips - The Humument - as this is a sort of similar idea to mine. There were a few designs I liked of his:


These above images really inspired me to think differently about posters, and how I could adapt my diary entry. I especially like the way he highlights certain text in a bubble separate to the rest of the text, but I also like that he still keeps the remaining text on the page just less obvious that the pure white sections.
