Let's be honest, keeping a journal is a never-ending creative process. Aside from making sure that your thoughts and stories are written creatively, you also have to see to it that they look just as nice on paper. So when The Calligraphy Hub posted about tips on making your notes look prettier, we figured this could also be useful for those who keep a journal. Below are 10 suggestions to keep your entries interesting.
- Use various shapes.
Do this especially when you need to highlight or stress important thoughts or quotes.
- Change the font for special words.
Do it if you don't want to draw on special thoughts or musings, but want to highlight it.
- Add little flourishes to your title.
A little cursive or flick here and there will go a long way.
