Organizing ideas and sketches for artists
Sidney Bussell | Sep 28 2007
I am an illustrator who does storyboards for advertising and I am trying to make my self teaching more rational and to the point. The outcome I’m after is that I’ll have the ability to keep my train of thought recorded using words as well as my sketches so that when work sporadically comes in and interrupts my explorations I wont come back two weeks later with only the memory of something exciting I was doing but can’t quite remember what it was. I already have tons of notes scattered around in various sketchbooks and loose pieces of paper I can scan. I’d like to put an electronic “Studio Book” together, but just a file full of stand alone scans isn’t necessarily what I want. I’d like something I could collect things into and sort of flip through or something like that with the idea of regular review and expansion and easy reference. I like the idea of a tiddlywiki but don’t see how to get Jpegs into it. Any advice or better ideas? 3 Comments

Perhaps an actual physical filing cabinet would work best? » POSTED IN:

Hi there, In the TiddlyWiki, you can embed the image using this syntax: [img[imagefilename.jpg]] That assumes that the image is in the same folder as the TiddlyWiki. If you want to keep your images in a file structure you can link to them there as well using e.g. [img[images/imagefilename.jpg]] …where “images” is the folder name. imagefilename.jpg can be whatever you’ve placed in the images folder. If you’ve got any more questions about TiddlyWiki, you’ll find the relevant Google Groups very helpful indeed! http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki Have fun! Phil » POSTED IN:

Thanks Phil, that was just what I was wondering about. It’ll help to sort of create a sketch/note book of selected pieces that I can flip through or link together like in a TiddlyWiki. Thanks Sid » POSTED IN:
