I’m a graphic designer from The Netherlands and I’m currently researching the value of sketches in the artistic process. As I like to call it: the art of forgotten ideas. A sketchbook is mostly filled with a lot of valuables: ideas, inspiration and points to connect from.
What happens after these sketchbooks are finished?
They’re dumped as trash and die. But what is, or can be, the actual value of these sketches? And what what will happen in case we create a second life for these sketches?

Example, Case 1: Good Luck Joban
Amber Dijs (me) x Moritz Welker (Germany) x Gustavo Quintina (Guatemala)
My original sketch.
My own interpretation of the sketch a few years later.
Moritz Welker (Germany)
"I took the sketches as an input for an Illustration combining Lettering and contemporary vector styles. Implemented all the letters shown in Ambers sketch and the feel of a kinda “goddbye-feeling” I got from it – Thought it would be a great book title and cover."
Gustavo Quintina (Guatemala)
"Here is my interpretation of your sketch, my main goal was to portray the whole page as the sketch instead of individual variations of an element."
