This journal is a little different; instead of a bound artefact I decided to design loose sheets of paper, with no page numbers. Each sheet is thoroughly self-contained, meaning that they can be read either in or out of order - from my original journey many new ones can be created by rearranging the pages. Each single sheet of paper acts as if a spread in any usual magazine or book, the only difference being that the spreads are not separated by margins, they are printed on the reverse of one another. This creates unique layouts, with overlapping elements, and gives fluidity to the pages. 

 

The project is split into days, separated by use of tracing paper dividers; these include infographics of weather and driving data for each day, as well as a detailed map of the day's route. By using transparent paper I have allowed for the maps to be layered together, and therefore the whole journey's route can be seen in its entirety.

 

Each day comprises of a journal section, followed by photographic prints. Envelopes created out of a Norwegian road map house all of the tickets and receipts for each given day. The colour palette of grey and a variety of blues references closely the natural landscape; text and image often overlap, and for this reason images in the journal section are at 90% opacity.
