Despite the fact that we have lots of apps for implementing our creative ideas or just for making everyday notes, we still need notebook that is made of paper.
Well, here we meet the same thing as with paper books: people boast with eBooks and Kindles but when it comes to a real deal they can’t imagine themselves without a writing notebook journal 🙂
As a copywriter, I’m a real fan of stylish pocket-sized notebooks.
My writer nature allows me to meet inspiration in truly different places. Thus, I have a plenty of notebooks to cover all my needs: journal custom notebook for creating notes for my new articles, spiral drawing notebook, writing journal notebook, gift blank notebook, notebook for the shopping list, etc. In fact, some people are crazy about fridge magnets, it’s not about me. If I’m going somewhere, the first thing I will buy in a new place is a fancy notebook for my collection 🙂 Notebooks are designed in so many styles that I often get lost when I need to buy a new one.
If a content creator is so excited by notebooks what about modern designers?
I think that almost every designer holds the notebook writing journal in his bag, it helps him on meetings with clients, with developing their projects’ ideas, etc. Additionally, this kind of daily must-haves becomes a great tool for making a great first impression on new people and for showcasing your style and your own vision of this world as you look through the pages of a notebook with pen in your hands. You need notebooks to make notes, draw sketches, create a to-do list, and for a number of other purposes.
