Moses Ting's inspiration notebook.
I am officially in love with these graph style notebooks/sketchbooks by Muji. Muji is one of my favorite stores because I can just go in there and roam around easily for hours. The simplistic design of their products speaks to me.
Anyway, back to the notebook. Why do I like it so much?
Well, first of all, the paper has a grid pattern. As an engineer, that’s just plain awesome. Everything I write has to line up, and the grids make it easy to do so. As a designer, the grid helps with drawing wireframes and making conceptual drawings. Geometric patterns get easier when you’re working with a grid. The grid layout system is big in web + print design these days, so that’s also a plus.
Second, the notebook lays flat. I don’t think I need to say anything more about that.
Third, they are extremely economical. I’m a thrifty kinda guy, and won’t stand for overpriced crap.
Fourth, pair up the notebooks with a couple of Muji gel pens, and you’ve got yourself a killer combination. The ink just works with the notebooks and it makes writing/drawing effortless.
