A Passion for Handmade Books / Moleskine

In a segment by NPR about the future of paper Moleskine notebooks were at the center of a discussion about whether people were turning to digital instead of paper.

For the Parsons School of Design/Moleskine project, 51 seniors from Parsons’ BFA in Illustration program were challenged to design a cover for a Moleskine cahier journal and bellyband using the prompt #WanderingMind. 

Notebooks are still the designer's preferred tool when it comes to brainstorming. Paper and pencil allow designers to sketch out ideas and find solutions which are fundamental steps in the creative process.

A while ago we put our skills to the test with a difficult stamping job. An all-over pattern embossed with an inset logo, on a modern yellow notebook, posed some challenges that were fun and actually very rewarding to solve.

The convenience of a pocket sized notebook just makes things easier. Whether it's a classic Moleskine notebook, a rustic handmade leather journal, or a uniquely designed Paperblanks we've got you covered. Here's a list of our favorite small/pocket sized notebooks. 

Here's a Client Appreciation job we did for designer Matt Paquette. Paquette designs marketing and promotional materials for The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro and designed some personalized Moleskine notebooks as a thank you gift.
