5 Tips for making a scrapbook about your profession

A person’s profession tells his story. And a scrapbook is the most creative way of telling your story. When there are scrapbooks being made on all occasions and for every person on this earth, then why not on what one does for a living.

It will not only be very inspirational for people who want to take up your profession, and want to know more about it. You can also make a scrapbook about your family members’ profession, which will be a different form of a themed-family-scrapbook.

Tips to create a scrapbook about your profession

1. A scrapbook about your profession should reflect every aspect related to work. For example, a scrapbook about the teaching profession should have information about what the work requires you to do and the kind of people you interact with.

2. Pictures of you at work can be very monotonous if you work out of a cubicle every day. But look at the possibilities of a picture collage if you are a doctor, or a sportsman, an actor, a journalist, an artist, an adventurer, or in the military. The riot of pictures and colors will be amazing for a professional scrapbook.

3. Add relevant information about the profession as well. Adding a bit of history, a small paragraph on a celebrity from your work, or an important event worldwide related to what you do, will make your scrapbook look...well, professional.

4. If it’s a family scrapbook you are planning to make about the profession of everyone in your family, then start cracking. What is it that your dad does? What’s your mom’s profession? Any of your siblings old enough to work? Decorate with work related stuff, like a medical scrapbook can have band-aids on all pages or a fashion designer’s scrapbook will have different fabrics on each page.

5. In a family scrapbook, keep a page blank to note down what profession you wish to take up once you grow up. For a small child, this is a volatile question, the answer to which might change every year. You can have a good laugh about your professional fantasies when you go through your scrapbook years later.
