A practical way to make annual goals easier to share
At the start of a new year, people are often asked to communicate what they will focus on, whether in the workplace or in school. The challenge is that goals can sound clear in writing but still feel abstract in conversation. A simple solution is information visualization: turning intentions into something you can see, point to, and remember. A notebook-style vision board illustration achieves this by compressing your direction into a single, glanceable image that is easy to present and discuss.
The notebook aesthetic that makes goals feel tangible
The concept uses a “knolling” composition, meaning the objects are arranged neatly from a top-down view, like a carefully organized desk layout. Rendering it as a blue ballpoint pen sketch on lined notebook paper adds a familiar, personal tone. Cross-hatching shading and a hand-drawn doodle style create a realistic yet informal feel, which helps teams engage without the output feeling overly corporate. A bright yellow highlighter outline around each subject provides clear visual hierarchy, making the most important items stand out immediately.
Why this format works in meetings and team alignment
A notebook page is naturally “readable.” When each object has a name written beside it, plus handwritten annotations and arrows pointing to details, the image becomes both a summary and a story. This makes it useful for kickoff meetings, team motivation, and ice-breakers, because everyone can quickly interpret the meaning and ask better questions. Instead of spending time translating abstract statements into mental images, the group starts from a shared visual reference, improving clarity and alignment around goal setting.
Highlighted prompt you can copy and adapt
Use the following prompt as a reusable template. Replace the bracketed section with your own vision items, separated by commas to help the model generate distinct objects. This version includes a centered title anchor to keep the theme unmistakable and improve consistency when you share it with others.

中文摘要（約400字）
2026年剛開始，許多人在回到職場或校園後，需要更清楚地表達個人或團隊的年度方向，但年度目標常停留在文字層面，容易抽象、難以記住，也不利於快速分享與討論。筆記本風格的「願景圖」提供了一種更直觀的做法：把目標轉換成整齊排列的物件構圖（knolling），以藍色原子筆素描呈現，搭配交叉線陰影與手繪塗鴉質感，讓畫面像一頁真實筆記，既親和又具結構。為了讓主題更明確，中央可加入一張略微傾斜的小相框卡片，並以浮雕粗體呈現「2026 VISION」兩行字作為視覺錨點；各個物件外圍再加上明亮的黃色螢光筆描邊，建立清楚的層級與焦點。周邊以手寫文字與箭頭標註物件名稱與細節，使觀者一眼就能理解每個象徵背後對應的年度目標。實際應用上，你只要把提示詞中的願景項目以逗號分隔填入，例如技能成長、健康習慣、專案里程碑、旅行計畫或創作方向，模型就能生成一張可用於會議破冰、團隊激勵、年度規劃分享或社群發布的視覺化摘要。這種呈現方式能把抽象的計畫變得具體、易讀、易傳達，也更容易在後續的檢視與追蹤中成為有效的提醒與共識工具。
