Artist's Book Ideation Cards was designed as an aid to the book artist. Barb Tetenbaum developed the original set of artist's book ideation cards for use in her teaching practice. This version was further developed and designed in collaboration with Julie Chen. Use the cards to jump-start a new project or inform one that is already in progress. There are two decks in the set: category cards and adjective cards. Start by separating the cards in Deck 1 into the seven categories [text, image, structure, paper, layout, technique and color]. Place the cards face down and choose one card at random from each stack. This will give you a basic 'recipe' for your project. Then choose five adjective cards at random from Deck 2. These will give you further information to use however you decide. If you want, you can exchange one category card and one adjective card. Wild cards are included in Deck 2 to offer additional challenges
