... FACT: Paper sheets follow national or international regulations. For example, the typical A4 used for office prints, is part of the international system ISO 216. This is also important to consider when you are making a notebook. If you decide to go for a unusual shape that does not fit in an already existing size, you'll need to think about what to do with the leftovers of your cut. There are many ways to solve this problem but the main is prevent it before you need to solve it. Could you make the same notebook you had in mind but in some way be able not to cut the paper? I love folds. If you really can't, try to cut a size that could be reused for something else. Make a super vertical notebook for fast thoughts or for grocery lists.

why

-

One of the main urgency I have to talk about this topic is that both from my personal experience and the experiences of others during growth: standardisation of abilities, of desires, ways of living.

-

We are supposed to satisfy standards and generalisations throughout our entire lives, structures in which some people feel comfortable in and some others not at all, especially if we talk about young humans that are still building up on their personality and still discovering their abilities and strategies.

-

In general, in society, I don't like that we are expected or used to be all the same, that expressing who we are is not part of daily life but many times it's a shaming process that has a lot of impact on growth and development of self. And I feel like that with the arrival of consumerism we got used to the idea that we can just buy objects and it doesn't really matter if they're made for us in the same way they are made for everyone else in the world.

-

I would like this research to be a sort of manifesto for a general context but using the notebook as a "metaphor": who are you? how does your brain work? how do your ideas come along? what are your needs from a tool that society provided in a standardised form?

-

It is not only about making a notebook, is how making a notebook will put us in the position of questioning who we are and the objects we use, why we use them and how something made for us from us could look like.

... FACT: Paper sheets follow national or international regulations. For example, the typical A4 used for office prints, is part of the international system ISO 216. This is also important to consider when you are making a notebook. If you decide to go for a unusual shape that does not fit in an already existing size, you'll need to think about what to do with the leftovers of your cut. There are many ways to solve this problem but the main is prevent it before you need to solve it. Could you make the same notebook you had in mind but in some way be able not to cut the paper? I love folds. If you really can't, try to cut a size that could be reused for something else. Make a super vertical notebook for fast thoughts or for grocery lists.

how to make a notebook with recycled reused restored materials?

+

There are a lot of locations in almost every city that collect paper that cannot be used anymore. Luckly, nowadays, most of these locations, such as printing spaces, stationery shops, book makers, separate and recycle the materials they cannot use. Most of the times, these leftovers are in a very long rectangolar shape, do you know why? When you print, but the shape of your print doesn't 100% fit the paper sheet you are printing on, this produces a lot of leftovers, mainly on one side or two of the sheet. ...

production choices

+

+I wanted this publication to have two main characteristics: modular and customisable. +The modularity became important to me and my way of taking notes and making notebooks. Modularity allows reconnections, both physically both content-wise. In this context, I decided to produce this publication as a physical 'random choice' to access the content: rotating the cards on the rings, the materials are scattered and re-connected by the user (you). It becomes customisable because of the type of binding I used. I was not happy use plastic instead of metal, but i had this publication to allow a almost 360 degrees rotation so that all the content in the rows could reconnect to the other rows. I was also not happy with being obliged to buy something specific to achieve my intent ...

production choices

... I also inserted some empty pages in the publication, to let some space for thoughts or ideas (if they come while browsing through). The main reason though, is that i have been wondering when a notebook is not a notebook anymore. I knew this publication was going to be printed, but i hope that through this different considerations, for some, this could still be defined as a notebook. The content comes from my reflections and the notes I took, on my laptop and on my notebooks. They were notes and now, after printing them out I wonder, are they still? +The publication is also printed on an a4 to avoid paper waste. I picked for you 5 different types of paper to let you feel different options already intrinsicly within the publication.

what you will find inside this notebook/book/object/publication/game

is a selection of multiple things, that all try to help you, a user that could soon become an active maker, to get inspiration and start making notebooks into your own practice. -some things will stop and continue on a different card, try to reconnect them to go on reading! Nothing is in order, every piece of the publication is positioned almost 100% randomly in the different cards. You might feel lost, in that case move on, read something else, write down something. You might find an explanation somewhere else. -some of the cards are pieces of my personal thoughs while, in the last year, i have been experimenting with notebooks' making. They might feel completely out of context, as also the pictures of the notebooks these comments are referred to are randomly spread around the publication. Use your imagination and get lost.
