What Is Needed In A Coloring Diary
If you want a coloring diary for yourself or as a gift for someone else, then you need to know what you are looking for. Here are some ideas of what you can find in coloring diaries available for 2020, so you can decide which features best suit your needs.
While you may be looking for funny adult coloring pages or perhaps coloring therapy for adults or maybe even just online coloring pages for adults, there are some other items to take into consideration to get the best coloring diary for yourself or as a gift in 2020.
Coloring Items
This may seem like a given but there are so many different kinds of adult coloring pages available in diaries and journals, that you need to know what you are looking for. Some notebooks or journals provide coloring items as a border along the tops of the pages or down the sides or as small items on the pages. The rest of the page may be totally lined or may have various lined boxes for notes and possibly some blank areas for doodling.
If you want a full page or pages for coloring, you will be able to choose from a great range of items, landscapes, homely pictures, floral, bouquets, animals, whimsical, realistic, cartoons, abstract, mandalas, zentangle patterns, single items, such as cupcakes or mixtures of all. There are also many books based on stories or films, including Disney and many other popular books.
You may want adult coloring pages that include quotes or sayings. These can be inspirational, religious, motivational, sporty, home, relationships, or everyday sayings. You can also get coloring pages that include swear words!
Choose Your Size
Very often, picture types included in a coloring diary will depend on the size of the diary you choose. It is more difficult to include detailed pictures in a pocket diary than in a desk top diary, so you may find the pictures in smaller offerings are single items, like cup cakes or a flower, rather than a bouquet. The size you choose of course, depends on what you need the diary for. Is it to be kept in a pocket or bag to travel with you each day or is it to stay on a desk or shelf? Do you want something small with smaller pictures that you will be sure to carry with you and use every day? Or maybe you prefer having larger more detailed or complex pictures or patterns that may take longer to complete.
Binding
It is possible to get both perfect bound (like a novel) or spiral bound notebooks or journals. Spiral bound books are more likely to lie flat, making it easier to color the pictures, whereas a perfect bond book may be smaller and easier to carry in a pocket or bag.
Paper And Quality
If you are likely to want to remove any pictures you have colored and display or frame them, then you will need to be sure that the book you buy has good quality paper and that the pictures are printed only on one side of the paper. This of course, means the book will be more expensive. You are more likely to find this with books by well known authors and artists.
Diary Or Journal
If you want to use your book as a diary or notebook or a journal, as well as a set of adult coloring pages, then you need to be sure of what other pages are included besides the pictures. You may be content with blank pages on the reverse side of pictures, where you can draw or make notes as you choose. You may want a diary or dates for the year or diary pages where you can record appointments or lists or notes. You may want pages where you can make your own notes on what you are coloring or practice your own doodles. or you may want pages where you can list your aims, process objectives and timetable for your business strategy.
If you are not sure that you will want to use the book as a daily dairy, then you may be able to get a perpetual diary – one that is not limited as to the year you are working in. Check out what other pages are offered in the coloring diaries you are looking at.
