SketchNotes is a series being featured on Core77 about visual note taking. Its not about sketching or drawing specifically but how you can employ some visual communication techniques to note taking that will help you remember a meeting or lecture more clearly. As you can see from the sample image, its not full of beautifully rendered drawings but just uses the paper to create snippets of ideas from the lecture.

I’ve been meaning to post about the Greenroom line of notebooks that are available in most Target stores across the country. They are pretty, fun, eco and cheap. So, what are you waiting for? Next time you need TP and laundry detergent, take a detour down the stationery aisle and pick up a new notebook.

For the packaging alone, Aubin & Wills’ Mandville HB Pencils are totally worth the price of £9.50 for a pack of nine pencils. The diecut fox window peeks through to the gloss white pencils and makes me desperate to pry open the package and poor all the pencils out onto my desk. Does anyone else get this excited about pencils?
