As part of our «Design & Creativity» module in Hyper Island’s Master program, students are to document their «creative journey» (read more about this in my post «Know and understand the bloody brief»).

As a side assignment along the actual assignment of documenting one’s process in a A3 hand-written and -sketched «journal», I have committed myself to publish my process here on Medium.

This is part 2 of the process and another number of pages that have been finished (click here for part 1).
