  vsnotebook is a publication that was fashioned in the summer of 2013. It was born out of the necessity of variation, a space for those of varying interests and ideals to have level say. Much like the name, it is a visionary notebook which allows for up-and-coming creative people of any discipline to express themselves and answer the questions or create awareness of what they deem of importance. The website is a space to write funny, touching, poignant, controversial and necessary think-pieces, as well as bring attention to budding talent and established favourites.
