Title: Fauxdori Fieldnotes/Moleskine notebook cover Date: 2015-11-24 14:48 Author: Michael Category: Design Tags: CAD, Laser, Leather Slug: fauxdori-fieldnotes-moleskine-notebook-cover Status: published
This is a design deviation of the popular and famous Midori Travelers notebook. The Midori Travelers notebook has a few fatal flaws in my opinion.
- The notebook refills are hard to purchase
- The size of the notebook is not standard to international paper sizes nor US sizes
- The cover nor the accessories are readily available at neighborhood stores. Ie. Target, Walmart, Art shops
- It is rather expensive for what amounts to leather and elastic
I addressed these problems by making a version that will accommodate 3.5" x 5.5" or 90mm x 140mm (roughly A6) notebooks. You can find Moleskine Cahier Journal 3 packs at Target, for example. This notebook cover with a rubber band will take all three notebooks and make it pocketable. Again, the entire project was made in CAD before I cut a single piece of leather. I cut it on the laser and laced it up with elastic.
If you are interested in the template or interested in me making you one, please let me know. I am in the process of setting up digital downloads for multiple projects (Most of which reside on my computer because I haven’t had time to post). I also make different products out of leather, wood, felt, acrylic, and other materials… soon to be posted. Also considering Etsy…
