- The image shows an open journal spread with handwritten notes and sketches. The left page features a small sketch at the top, depicting abstract geometric shapes.

On the right page, titled "Project Overview," there are several bulleted points outlining steps such as "ART MAKING" and "Online Gallery," accompanied by rough sketches of rectangles and grids, possibly representing visual layouts. Colorful tabs stick out from the top and sides of the journal, labeled with various names and topics. The background is slightly dark, highlighting the vibrant page markers.
