Finally begun my Digital Visual Diary. I need to buy a notebook to write my thought process behind each image and edit for each day. This will act as a key for viewers to work out what's going on. I also need to buy a small journal that I can keep notes in explaining how to do things in Photoshop, as I am learning it for the first time.
Each element (e.g. photo, drawing, filter, fading edit) needs to be carefully thought out and analysed in terms of what messages it is giving.
From Day 1, I have found that I will need to record each throughout the day, but present it in photoshop the following day. So essentially, I will have to be always working on presenting the events that happened yesterday. This is because if I created the image on the same day that it was titled, and included all the important events that unfolded in the whole day, I would have to create the photoshopped image at midnight. Because I need to do it in the studio, due to the software, this isn't possible. Therefore, I must make notes like a traditional diary during the day and then interpret and create the image from them the next day, whilst recording everything.

I'm also finding the same problem, being that when I'm doing a drawing of an object that i feels represents the day at 7pm, I don't know that an event might happen which changes my life at 8pm (and therefore would be much more worthy of a drawing). However, I can't do the sketch the day after, as the object may have gone or changed.
