Hasta La Ideas

If you were wondering who we were making 10,000 notebooks for, the amazing client was Veer, the excellent source for stock images and distributor of typefaces! They’ve posted this preview image (above) on their blog today.

A while ago, I proposed a custom notebook for Veer, using their old print catalogues as the interior pages, interspersed with lined pages. They liked the idea—in a big way! (I had thought perhaps we’d make a few hundred or a thousand and didn’t imagine it would turn into such a huge order.) The cover design, by Anna Coe, uses various logotypes, dingbats, and illustrations to spell the word REMIX. The cover is printed on transparent cellulose acetate, so with the randomness of a Veer page showing through, each cover result is unique. The majority of the notebooks we made are for loyal Veer customers, but some notebooks will be in their Merch store in the new year.

Thanks, Veer!

This is a special theme song dedicated to Janine & the Eclectonote Team of amazing creatives who are working around the clock to make a big batch of beautiful eclecto notebooks. 

Go team go! 

I’ve been busy making Eclecto notebooks—I’m happy to tell you that they’re being stocked in Paper Source stores in the USA! I’m very thrilled; I love their stores and always try to find one when I am visiting the US. You can also purchase Eclecto notebooks at Greenwich Letterpress (they also stock our magazine and will have issue two available in a few weeks.) You can also purchase a notebook or two directly from me.

Ali Z. sent me a photo of her Eclecto notebook in use:

Thanks, Ali! (I love to see UPPERCASE things in their new homes, so feel free to email pics of the magazine or notebooks in use.)

Canadian Gardening has a nice mention of my Eclectonotes.
