Idea and Plan series are designed to ease the daily burden of keeping track of to-do lists, organizations, meetings and ideas. The design process started by studying various bullet journals, organizers and sketch notebooks from different brands’, followed by a Q&A among friends and family to get a better grasp on different ways of listing and sketching. Idea and Plan series needed a different perspective. Through word play, contrasting colors, typography and self explanatory content, the series were designed to add a splash of color and fun to one’s daily responsibilities.
