Sometimes you hear the following phrase: “I want to keep a personal diary, but I don’t know how.” At least it sounds strange, doesn't it? After all, a personal diary is not a tribute to fashion, it is a need of the soul. If there is a need, then you take a pen (no matter what color!) and trust your thoughts to paper (no matter what notebook!). But now we’re not talking about that, but about how to design it inside.
Even 20 years ago, such a question did not arise often, believe me personal experience. It’s just that in those years there was not a stunning variety of notebooks themselves (the diary was kept in ordinary notebooks of 48 or 96 sheets), pens and decorations. The most we could do was glue on magazine clippings, pretty candy wrappers or chewing gum inserts. Or draw something by hand. But now is a different time, many wonderful goods for handicrafts have appeared, so I want it to be beautiful (even if not for everyone, not for show) and no worse than others.
Probably, the difficulty also arises in the fact that it happens like this: you feel the need to keep a diary, you write with inspiration, you even fall in love with it and... suddenly... stupor. There is no inspiration, no need, and the previously beloved notebook is gathering dust on the shelf. For such a case, sometimes one “kick” is enough, or, if you prefer, advice, support, and inspiration returns!
From personal experience I will say that the best “kick” is looking at other people’s work. They inspire, help to add zest to... So, let's look together at what design methods there are personal diary inside...
To get started, be sure to watch a short video where you will see a lot of ideas for designing a personal diary.

1. Many people prefer the usual, traditional style: they write by hand in solid text, the most they allow themselves is multi-colored pastes. After all, a personal diary is a whirlwind of your thoughts, events and feelings, why do you need anything else? But let’s say you’re bored of just writing... In this case, any picture that illustrates what you’re writing about will help add some zest and decorate the pages. It can be a photograph, but it doesn't have to be.
Are you writing about a book you like? Cut out a stack of books from a magazine and glue them next to them. Are you writing about how great it was to meet with your friends in a cafe? Or about how, after visiting a doctor, you had to fork out for medicine? Take “material evidence” with you (a receipt, a business card or an advertisement for a new dish) and stick it in your diary. And in general, any photo or even the most careless hand drawing will make your notebook more alive.
2. Why not try your hand at organizing the events that have happened in the form of small ones? Can't draw? But small drawings (maybe even schematic ones) are much easier. Maybe by training day after day you will get better?
3. The same small drawings can be used for different thematic pages in the diary, for example, “what am I striving for” or “plans for this year.”
4. Sometimes, for variety, you can design pages in this way: on special cards different shapes. There you can write down some individual thoughts and even quotes, aphorisms, excerpts from songs or poems that resonate with your mood and thoughts... If there are no such cards, this is not a reason to be discouraged! You can get creative yourself and draw something similar on multi-colored pieces of paper. Or even on pieces from different packages (tea, toys, etc.) or labels from clothes - bright, colorful. There is absolutely no point in throwing them away!
5. You can color on the diary pages watercolor paints, mix them, smear them, blurt them out and splash them - any text will look very nice on top! Just keep in mind that if they are thin enough, then before all watercolor experiments you need to glue them together in two! Then everything will work out neatly.
7. This method looks very nice when you write with letters of different shapes and sizes, as well as in different directions: obliquely, vertically, horizontally. Of course, this is not suitable for recording events or thoughts, but if you want to write facts about yourself or write down “100 things I love,” then it’s just right.
8. Any personal diary definitely needs pockets for things dear to the heart! For tickets, notes or even small photographs.
9. If you decide to take your personal diary seriously, so that you not only write down thoughts and events, but also decorate it by pasting photographs, pictures and others, then cards with ready-made inscriptions will be a good accent: photo fact, appreciate every moment, news of the day , an unforgettable moment, etc.
10. If you are not at all afraid of difficulties, then you can start your diary not in a notebook or notebook, but in an old unnecessary (!) book! This process is even more exciting because the imagination in design is simply limitless!
Advice: if you decide to undertake such a feat, then first of all you need to tear out every third page in the book. Otherwise, as your diary fills up, it will swell to obscene sizes. Then, if you are going to dab on paints in the book (preferably acrylic with a little gouache added - then the pages won’t stick together and the letters won’t shine through as much as when using watercolor paints), then be sure to glue all the pages together, two at a time. And then it’s a matter of your imagination! Cover the letters completely or not (as you like?), with multi-colored paints or a little white to write text.
If you have the opportunity to find an old book in English or German- this is generally great, because in such a book it is not necessary to cover up the text at all, just paste in photographs, decorations for the text.
I hasten to note that this option already strongly resembles not a personal diary, but the design of a smashbook, and this process has already captured many creatively minded people, but we will talk about this later.
In the meantime, I wish you not to be afraid of anything and, if inspiration comes, get down to designing your personal diary!

Pictures for a personal diary
LD is a whirlwind of events, thoughts and feelings. Many do not express them in solid text, but supplement them with all sorts of pictures. They are the decoration and highlight of the pages. You can cut and paste your photo as a picture, but this is not necessary. Some use ready-made prints, others draw by hand in good faith.
Ready-made drawings can be downloaded from the Internet and printed.
New patterns are on various sites. Emoticons are popular, as in social network In contact with.
The clippings can be either colored and bright, or black and white.
You can smear watercolors on LD pages, mix different paints, and write text on top. Colored pencils and gel pens will also become faithful helpers. In this case, you should rely only on your own preferences and do not be afraid to experiment.
On a note! If the diary sheets are thin, it is recommended to glue two pages together before using watercolor paints.
Ideas for LD: poems and quotes
No personal diary is complete without quotes and poems. Writing them is not only fashionable, but also terribly interesting. Typically, small quatrains are placed on the first and last pages, while entire poems are stored in the middle. They can be humorous or, conversely, sad, telling about unrequited love (which often happens among girls). You can arrange entries in several ways: classic or in different directions.
Usually poems and quotes express the mood, but often the owner of the diary simply cuts out and pastes in statements she likes.
Those who are endowed with a certain talent compose the poem themselves. It can be written by hand or typed on a computer and then printed, cut and pasted.
A wide variety of design ideas are allowed. If a teenager keeps a diary, it will contain clippings of favorite characters, be present bright colors. Often a special code is used, known only to the owner herself.
Grown-up girls and women are more reserved, but it all depends on their character.
On a note! Sometimes they choose not an ordinary notebook or notepad for notes, but an old book. Drawings are pasted in there, as well as blank paper for text. It is recommended that you tear out every third page of the book, otherwise it will become too bulky as you fill it out. It is advisable to provide special pockets in which photographs, cards and other things will be stored.
To make your paper friend unique, you should make it yourself. To do this, you will have to select the required amount of colored glossy paper. Sheets of the same size are cut out of it and folded randomly. Then a cover is made from thick cardboard (you can decorate it with pictures, stencils, or cover it with fabric). The sheets and cover are fastened in any convenient way. Your personal diary is ready, now you can start designing it.

Drawings for a personal diary
Not everyone wants to print a finished drawing and select themes for it. Or maybe it’s sketches made with your own hands. The page can serve as a canvas for expressing thoughts and a coloring book at the same time. For personal diaries, it does not matter what artistic abilities its owner has.
It is not always possible to reveal hidden secrets, emotional experiences and feelings that torment us from the inside to our loved ones. And then we begin to trust our secrets to our personal diary. Paper will endure anything. After many years, you will leaf through such a diary like a chronicle, so today we will discuss how to decorate the inside of the LD beautifully.
To be or not to be: why keep a diary?
A personal diary is a universal diary in which you can reflect all your thoughts, feelings, emotions experienced during the day, significant events or shocks. Or maybe you just can't trust to a loved one or a friend about your experiences. In this case, it is better to write them down. The paper does not turn red, but you can get rid of accumulated negativity. Your soul will immediately feel lighter - this is what psychologists say.
A personal diary can play the role of an organizer. You will write down your goals, achievements, height and weight table, training schedule, diet. And if you take up creativity and write poetry, then your personal diary will become your manuscript. Depending on the content of the personal diary, its design is carried out.
Design ideas
To create a personal diary you need to buy any notebook. If you are worried about the safety of your information, you can purchase a notebook with a lock and always carry the key with you.
Special attention you need to pay attention to the cover. She can be anyone. It all depends on the height of your imagination. The following materials are often used to design LD:

You can simply color the pages in different colors. Psychologists say that color therapy also helps to express your emotions and relieve tension. Flowers may bloom on the pages of your diary. Write down any information and even poetry. You can paste a portrait of the author or symbolic drawings above the lines of your favorite work.

Step-by-step description of the creative process:
Before you start reading this article, I want to clarify that a personal diary is still your personal space, so how and what will be inside it is a matter of your taste. I'll just try to direct your creative thoughts in the right direction.
Sometimes you hear the following phrase: “I want to keep a personal diary, but I don’t know how.” At least it sounds strange, doesn't it? After all, a personal diary is not a tribute to fashion, it is a need of the soul. If there is a need, then you take a pen (no matter what color!) and trust your thoughts to paper (no matter what notebook!). But now we are talking not about how to keep a personal diary, but about how to arrange it inside.
