-### how to make a notebook with recycled reused restored materials?
-<p class="howto"> 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.  </p>

It is bound, but free to move: the user is also able to cut out pages, re-position but also keep some they care about.

+A new need arose from the growth of accessibility to books: how to deal with contradictory information. One solution has been the ‘gloss’, which consisted in adding comments in small cursive on the side of a text (fig.7). Another solution that appeared in the XII century was called ‘summa’ or summary, which purpose was to cut “the diverse interpretations to establish a core of truth” (Hobart and Schiffman, 2000): it began with a question, then contrasting opinions were listed and it ended with a conclusion or ‘sententia’.

+### alternative materials: do you need a awl?
+What is it? This is not a hole puncher, but more like a hole maker. You'll need this in case of a thread binding, to help your needle to pass through the sheets correctly (the sheets need to be alligned - if that's what you want) In this case, a knife would not work. What about a needle? That's already what will pass through the holes. You can also use a needle that is a tiny bigger than the one you'll use for binding later. Yes, it does hurt a bit when the paper is not very thin so a solution is attaching a needle inside anything that you can hold with one hand.

-<p class="howto"> This is easy. If you need to cut paper, there are two ways: or you fold it and use your knife in the fold to separate the two parts. This method works well if you, for example, start from an A4 and need to make two a5s: it means, when you need the sheet you own to be cut in two identical parts. The other way works well especially if you own a real and sharp paper cutter. You will need a ruler positioned on top of the paper, with the measurements marked, and something that works as a cutting mat. I once used another notebook, but that was radical. Other options are any piece of wood or thick cardboard, anything that nobody cares if it get ruined with cut lines.

+### alternative materials: do you need a cutting mat?
+This is easy. If you need to cut paper, there are two ways: or you fold it and use your knife in the fold to separate the two parts. This method works well if you, for example, start from an A4 and need to make two a5s: it means, when you need the sheet you own to be cut in two identical parts. The other way works well especially if you own a real and sharp paper cutter. You will need a ruler positioned on top of the paper, with the measurements marked, and something that works as a cutting mat. I once used another notebook, but that was radical. Other options are any piece of wood or thick cardboard, anything that nobody cares if it get ruined with cut lines.

+#### NOTES ON PROTOTYPE: the metal rings one
+18.01.2023
+I feel restricted in the moment I have to write on a flat a5 page. I feel like the content is never organised because I can write in every direction and most of the time I use visual note-taking, or note-making, especially the circular method (have starting points in the middle and then move around it), i get lost in the space because I have no interruptions or limitations.

+I produced a special notebook to deliver a starter for a conversation around our projects to Kim and Chae (XPUB classmates).
+The concept was to give each other something in form of a letter or gift, or anything we could think of, and deliver it to the others in our group. I made a sort of notebook that can be used if you need to write letters, get rid of thoughts, write fast, brainstorm for projects or writing tasks.

+#### NOTES ON PROTOTYPE: supi's notebooks
+29.09.23
+Supi (XPUB classmate) presented me some updates on the use of her notebooks. Supi noticed how much a different tool/pen has a different result on her way of working/drawing/thinking, how much it makes a difference in the act of playing with the use of the pen (the way you interact with the pen, an object that teaches her through the act of drawing - notebooks as discovery space). In this case, paper has a substantial impact on the results, so that often pen and paper goes together.

-## production choices
-<p class="info"> 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?
-To conclude, the publication is printed on A4 sheets to avoid paper waste. I picked for you 5 different types of paper to let you feel different options already intrinsically within the publication.</p>

+## thesis excerpts: how note-taking affects learning
+There are two ways in which the act of note-taking can affect learning: “The encoding hypothesis suggests that the processing that occurs during the act of note-taking improves learning and retention. The external storage hypothesis touts the benefits of the ability to review material” (Mueller and Oppenheimer, 2014).

+## thesis excerpts: levels of creativity
+The basic level of creativity is doing, which requires a minimum amount of interest. This happens when we use a notebook already made in the industry and bought from a shelf. The second is adapting. This action is made to personalise and change an object you already have. For example, you could make little additions to it, like a back pocket, or post-its to create more space. The third level is making. This happens when we build a notebook from scratch but we follow predetermined patterns. This action needs more time and energy. The last level is creating. Creating is making something that does not yet exist. It relies on the use of raw materials and the absence of pre-existing rules.

+## thesis excerpts: the origin of notebooks
+Note-taking has existed for a long time but there is not much evidence of it before the XV century (Blair, 2010, p.1). Nowadays, notebooks are mostly used for annotating for later use, but in the past, they were used to organise and classify materials (Yeo, 2008). They “were part of daily life for literate, educated individuals, (..) were prompts for material that should be stored in memory” (Yeo, 2008). Paper notebooks consisted of the work of intellectuals on parchment, to transmit oral knowledge.

-<p class="info">This publication is a collection of materials 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 texts 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.</p>

-<p class="howto"> What is it? This is not a hole puncher, but more like a hole maker. You'll need this in case of a thread binding, to help your needle to pass through the sheets correctly (the sheets need to be alligned - if that's what you want) In this case, a knife would not work. What about a needle? That's already what will pass through the holes. You can also use a needle that is a tiny bigger than the one you'll use for binding later. Yes, it does hurt a bit when the paper is not very thin so a solution is attaching a needle inside anything that you can hold with one hand.
