Notebooks/Collections

For basic journalism students, keeping or collecting items for notebooks is a great learning tool.  I've used this graphics notebook concept for so long, I can't remember where I got the original idea.  A graphics notebook is a collection of items from magazines or any printed material which the student locates to reinforce basic design concepts (logos, spreads, infographics, etc...)

Attached is the format I use, plus other suggestions for notebooks to blend in with other journalistic units of study.
