The story behind this design

Working tone on tone removes every easy tool a pattern usually has. There is no color contrast to separate the shapes and no line to outline them, so the design relies entirely on how matte and slightly-less-matte surfaces catch light differently. Turn the book and the geometry appears; set it flat under a lamp and most of it disappears again. That shifting quality is the reason to make a cover this way rather than simply printing it in gold.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What does black on black mean here?
A: The geometric pattern is printed in tones a shade apart from the black cover, so it shows through difference in surface rather than color.

Q: Is there any metallic on the cover?
A: No. The design uses no metallic ink and no contrast color.

Q: Is the cover matte?
A: Yes, the cover has a matte black finish.

Q: Who is it for?
A: It suits anyone who wants a notebook that reads as entirely plain at a distance.

Care

Keep the journal dry and store it flat or upright. Wipe the cover with a soft, dry cloth; do not use solvents on the printed surface.
