Project Background
YMWD is the practical journal for impractical peopleβpeople who prefer to spend just as much time designing their notes as they do writing them in the first place. Inspired greatly by techo culture, YMWD is a digital journal made to be compatible with GoodNotes5 that's easy to write in, mark-up, drop in stickers, photos, illustrations, and anything else on the mind.
Challenge
For people who think in visuals as well as words, the go-to method is to put pen to paper in a notebook or sketchbook. There's a gap between this method and increasingly digital creative processes that can be serviced with a journaling tool that lives on devices like a personal iPad.
Solution
YMWD provides over 400 pages of grid-formatted layouts ready to be over-written and adapted for individual creativity. There are layouts for monthly or weekly planning and daily journaling. A minimally designed nav anchored at the bottom toggles the view between the current day, active week or month, year overview, or table of contents. The table of contents is interactive and customizable for users who want to bookmark sections or add in new sections altogether. Because it's compatible with GoodNotes5, it's easy to drop in visual assets, whether its a photo of a warm memory from that day, an artwork from your ProCreate app, or screengrab from a movie you just saw and can't stop thinking about. Additional upsides to this tool is that the space it takes up is purely digital, it's accessible through the cloud, and the internet is your scrapbooking source.
