The high-contrast palette and precise geometry create a clean, contemporary optical rhythm that reads as both playful and graphic. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
