1980’s Music: Top 100
By Kaci Holliday
Date of Publication: November 29th, 2020
Journal: prints, various drawing utensils
For my SYRCE project I created a piece which channels 1980’s music within my current interests: bullet journaling and scrapbooking. In the content of my journal you will see the top ten artists and albums from each individual year. Each year comes with its own design which I pulled together from other bullet journaling artists. After gathering the top songs from Billboard Magazine’s end of the year top one hundred lists from the 80’s, I looked into different 80’s themed bullet journals by various bullet journaling YouTube artists, which influenced a lot of my design. This journal serves as a creative recollection of 1980’s music.
