Research Book.

I'm really disappointed with my research book. Due to my lack of funds I bought a plain a4 sketch book and it looks so flat and pancake like. I have managed to fill it, but it still looks boring. I also think next time the brief should be a bit more clear as to what is expected? It has been hard to know what to put on here or in the book and not to just copy my blog into my book, will I be marked down for only putting in on one? or on the wrong one? I have kept my book as just my inspirations and ideas and it is pretty basic.There is no analysis because I have done that all on here? I hope this is ok...
