1,000 Journals

The concept behind releasing 1,000 blank journals into the world by the graphic designer named someguy was truly groundbreaking in the sense that it gave the average person a voice to share their inner most thoughts. During 2000, someguy released the journals into the streets of San Francisco, not knowing what will happen to them. He derived the original premise from the idea of showcasing random bathroom graffiti which would be then implemented into the book itself. The whole plan took approximately two years to complete due to financial constraints. The content of the journals were of various sorts because someguy did not place a limit pertaining to the content represented in the making of the book itself.

Therefore, unifying individuals from all over the world with various backgrounds a voice to be heard via their personal journal entry.
