This is why HuffPost's journalism is free for everyone, not just those who can afford expensive paywalls. It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. Inspired by the fabled journals in which acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro records his innermost thoughts and unleashes his vivid imagination, Insight Editions has created a replica sketchbook aimed at the directors legion of fans. The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking, new connections, and new industries. At HuffPost, we believe that everyone needs high-quality journalism, but we understand that not everyone can afford to pay for expensive news subscriptions.

Some pages are instructions for make-up artists, others are just Del Toro working out what looks cool and scary. In the past, I’ve drawn journals that are gathering places for ideas, as well as project plans and notations.

I was studying overviews on Steve Jobs, Apple strategy, some thinking about leadership and the reflection in consumer relationships and Apple marketing, but more particularly about the premise of the "design of leadership" -- or better still, leadership in design.The book covers industry greats such as Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano, as well as up-and-comers including Bora Aksu, Aitor Throup and Fred Butler, exhibiting a wide variety of brainstorming techniques. Some new sketches depicting "Pacific Rim" (sans the seizure-inducing special effects) have made their way to the internet, once again proving that del Toro is a visual artist to be reckoned with. Dries Van Noten, for example, collects photographs, embellishments and fabric swatches, while Chanel’s resident genius Karl Lagerfeld rarely touches any material, filling pages upon pages with deft, effervescent watercolor sketches.
