From left to right, notebooks created by Repeat Press, Smart & Wiley, and kHyal for the Feedback Loop Notebook Project

Before you wrap up your back-to-school shopping, be sure to load up on notebooks for a good cause. The Feedback Loop Notebook Project asked 25 leading leterpress printers to create 50 unique notebooks to benefit Design Ignites Change. The sky’s-the-limit design brief and the ability to choose any stock from Mohawk Fine Papers‘ eco-friendly Loop line made the invitation irresistable, and printers including David Wolske (Smart & Wiley), Allison Chapman (Igloo Letterpress), Matthew Kelsey (MK Printer), and Jessica White (Heroes & Criminals Press) whipped up distinctive notebooks that will be available for purchase beginning Wednesday, September 8, at the Felt & Wire Shop. Every last cent of the $15-per-notebook price will go to support School: by Design, a Design Ignites Change and Designers Accord youth mentoring initiative that asks high school students (in collaboration with their college or professional design mentors) to “redesign your school.” Procrastinators take note: each book is a limited-run edition, so snap them up while you can—or risk getting schooled.
