Sebastopol, CA?Ask tech DIY enthusiasts, backyard scientists, and makers what their ultimate workshop notebook would look like (as the folks over at Make magazine did recently) and you?ll get a truckload of ideas, opinions, and preferences. So the Make & Craft editors and staffers put their heads together. They boiled down all the feedback, crafted a distinctive design, and devised an ideal wokshop notebook for makers of all ilks.
The result? The all-new Maker's Notebook (O'Reilly Media, $19.99). Created for makers, crafters, backyard scientists, inventors, and engineers--actually anyone with a creative bent--the journal comes with engineering graph paper packed between its sturdy electric blue cover. And in true maker style, this notebook is born/designed to be hacked, inside and out.
"Clearly, lots of DIYers dream of designing their own project notebooks. We incorporated as many ideas from this Notebook Braintrust as possible," explains Gareth Branwyn, a contributing editor to Make.
"The front and back covers of the Maker?s Notebook are a debossed white grid on a cyan blue background. We intentionally left the covers 'blank,'" adds Branwyn. "The grid design on the front and back covers is begging you to storyboard it with your own art."
Other maker and crafter notebook goodies include:
There's a saying the folks at Make love: "Keep moving, keep asking questions, keep modeling difference." Now with the Maker's Notebook you have a nifty journal in which to renders those models. So get to work!
