Notebook sleeve design

 I have recently been considering looking at incorporating stationery into my project, I want to look at Notebooks and the sleeves that often come with them when they are bought from stationery designers such as Paper Chase and Present and Correct. Often the neat, detailed notebooks are presented to be sold with a 'sleeve' around them, usually with a barcode and price and the information on what the notebook is, for example size and paper etc.

I have researched both of these companies and had a look at examples which can be found in my sketchbook, I am going to take my own twist on this and create sleeves to go around plain Moleskine notebooks which will have my patterns on them.

 

My three chosen Notebook sleeves:

 

 

I scanned in  hand rendered designs and using Photoshop I have created the above sleeves, I was able to alter the colours and contrasts of them which allowed me to develop them to what I feel are successful complete sleeves.

 

I plan to enlarge the sleeves and have them printed out at a size of 200cm by 29cm to create large wall hangings alongside these small 20cm by 7cm Notebook sleeves.
