taxonomy ideaing

taxonomy plans:
mudstained paper to garden
books of markmaking.

wire-o, or stab bound?
probably a serif font.
seven by four inch.

hold it vertically,
to give the idea of growth,
along with content.

so very simple,
one mark per page is enough
progression is slow.

from the human hand,
to the spade of gardening,
through the plant structures.

ending in the fruit,
many gourds and many grapes,
autumn growth on vines.

moving from simple
into the complexity
that shows progression.

markmaking will grow
right alongside the concept
step by step by step.

from not very much
visual information
will grow until clear.

over and over,
for each step of the process
of autumn gardens.

  1. I recommend this haiku, or a new version of it, goes IN your taxonomy book as an introduction. It's tall and vertical too.

    Test your binding for the progress review. Remember you'll be making duplicates (one for each of you, plus me).

    One mark per pages is a nice idea. Another thought is to fill the pages more as the narrative progresses in order to visually reiterate the concept of growth and abundance.
