Creating an Illustrated Scrapbook

Start things off by getting to know Nuria and her experience as an illustrator. Take a look at some of her most important projects and get introduced to some artists and illustrators who have inspired her work.

Nuria introduces you to the world of scrapbooking, explaining what a scrapbook is and its origins. Learn what ephemera are, what the scope of this discipline looks like today, and the different elements that make up a scrapbook. She teaches the differences between a sketchbook and an artist's book, before going through the tools and supplies needed to get started.

Then, start planning your project by searching for a topic of personal or professional interest and learn how to choose a color palette to help you achieve visual harmony throughout your scrapbook.

Build an album from scratch and learn how to create different storage elements which can be included inside your album or within any pre-made notebook.

Make your own collection of signature clippings using some of Nuria's favorite clipping and collage techniques. Learn to analyze a collection, classify it, and select the materials that will compose your album.

Design the layout of your scrapbook pages and assemble your cutouts to tell a story. Create a closing system, prepare the cover, and get some final tips for conserving and using your illustration scrapbooks.
