Wish There Was A Notebook Like This When I Was A Kid

Posted By: on July 3, 2009

I think we’ve all tried sinking a balled-up piece of notebook paper into a trashcan at some point in our lives. It just would have been cooler if you did it with the paper from this notebook. A finalist at the European Design Awards, this awesome pad was done by Trapped in Suburbia to encourage clients to have fun at work.

    i think it's a great idea, because a notebook can be for real use and making it more fun increases the amount of people buying it and using it.

  69. This is an awesome idea but it looks like something like this wastes money (i don't care much about trees). I'm thinking it must cost more to make a notebook with large colored sheets throughout. I'm also realizing there's only half of the amount of pages to write on compared to a notebook with blank or ruled pages on both the front and the back. I still like the idea though.

    Love the idea, very creative – but I am a big fan of using both sides of the paper before i recycle it, Rearly use a layout pad these days. Sorry, hating the fact that I have to give it a thumbs down. a

    Wow, what a terrible waste of resources. Ink and paper can both be wasted in one shot. Who needs utility when you have novelty?

    Good to know that in an economic downturn with increasing green-tendencies the American consumer will still drive the economy by purchasing superfluous, wasteful items.

    Oh shut up you guys, it's just a little paper. Trees grow back. Plastic is the BIG waste problem. We'd be lucky to have way more novelty items made from tree products instead of plastic. (Recycled or hemp would be better, but whatever, at least it's not going to sit there rotting for 10k years.)

    This a Good Idea for waste paper. at glance Its like a deflated ball. But it will be more wise if we use it in another ways such as a wall decoration.
