Friends, I’m in love. The paper cuts are brutal.
Sexy French-folded covers, sturdy stainless steel binding and a 15-point dot grid that just won’t quit. Gridbooks are everything I’ve been searching for in life, but didn’t expect to find in one incredibly well designed package.
I’ve never felt like this before. My endorphins are leaking out all over the place.
Finally… a notebook crafted to help create better web designs. Ad Pads and Web Pads divide pages into two, three, four, five or six columns in the portrait orientation and two, three, four, six, eight, twelve and sixteen columns in the landscape orientation. At only $10, it’s the cheapest first date I’ve ever been on.
But I’ve been thinking about taking things to the next level. Maybe with a sturdy, hardcover Ad Book or Web Book for only $18. It’s a level of commitment I typically find suffocating, but for some reason it feels right with Gridbooks.
Best of all, Gridbooks are printed with pride and precision in Calgary, Canada on FSC-certified paper with recycled content. And we all know that nothing triggers pure, animal magnetism like care for the environment.
Gone are the long lonely nights plotting wireframes on cocktail napkins. I’ve all but forgotten the pain of drawing banner ads on old receipts.
Featured in blogs by SwissMiss, Woodclinched & Gear Patrol, it seems I’m not alone in my infatuation. As one of my most trusted friends, your approval means a lot to me. Head over to Gridbooks and let me know what you think.
