Tortie Paper - Notebook Design

bookbinding and illustration

Custom-designed and hand-bound notebooks and sketchbooks, scalable for niche market production. Various designs are meant to suit different needs, featuring different paper types and sizes. Flexible scoreback covers are durable, yet portable, with hand stitching for added strength. Notebooks are illustrated with a pen-plotter, bridging the gap between hand-drawn illustration and the uncanny "perfection" of a machine.

"Hybrid" notebook design - 128 pages of dotted fountain pen paper for journaling and note-taking, with an additional signature of blank sketchbook paper for drawing in the back. Paper types are separated by colored paper for easy organization, along with two ribbon page holders for each section. Covers are made with handmade paper made from 100% recycled material.
