Organiser:

The cover is made of 1 mm thick cardboard and felled to form.  The outlet half of the shell is taped with black Geltex material, and the inner – Surbalin red paper. The outler material is selected according to the practical function of the product: the organiser must be highlighter and resistant to scratchingconservative.  For page separation and book crimping satin ribbon and red elastic band is selected.  Satin ribbon tab‘s bottom is docked and sealed, so that the yarn doesn‘t get whipped over time.

Binding. The inside block for notes is sewn with white thread. Thanks to the non-standart organiser binding way – open spine – the flaps convert at the angle of 180°. It is especially pleasand and easy to write in it.

The artistic solution

The organiser „My ideas“ replaced usual work calendars for many of our clients. Given the multicultural aspects of the use of the organiser, the design of internal pages dominated by symbols and multilingualism motifs and to highlight the origin of the product in certain elements, the national language is highlighted – Lithuanian language.

Classic red and black color scheme is perfect for use in both the business environment and leisure. Organiser‘s cover accent – idea‘s symbol – a lamp (silk screen), and some flashing, silver foil covered dots.
Although both types of paper thickness is almost identical – coordinating different textures and the emergence of translucence creates a surprise effect. Illustrations enliven the publication, intrigue. Three Pantone palette colors are used.
Internal graphics is trigger, dot motif is selected which allows to develop ideas in a creative way.

During his speech at the awards, Marius Skarupskas, Deputy Minister of the Economy of the Republic of Lithuania, said, “It is good to see that somebody is creating things that not only can be read, but also touched.”
