“Every artist I met seemed to have a sketchbook to hand, as did graphic designers, and even web designers, whose product was entirely digital. Authors all kept notebooks, as did journalists, critics and other creative types – and the more assiduously they used those notebooks, the better their work seemed to be. The same applied to my colleagues’ work: playful lists, diagrams and sketches regularly disgorged surprisingly good ideas. How did this happen? Was there a connection between notebooks and creativity?” (Roland Allen, The Notebook)
