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.

This is definitely one of the most useful activities that we used for learning about complex design concepts.
