brussels-based graphic studio TM has just released the new edition of the ‘inspiration pad’, featuring new colors. the concept behind the design aimed to break the hardness of typical lines found in notebooks, knowing that these sometimes guide us without letting us be free. the result is a notebook that has been redesigned, with pages presenting different compositions with lines, and although they keep the same colors of the traditional pads, its new arrangement invites the user to approach it in a different way. every little detail has been considered, including the use of sustainable paper.

‘the ‘inspiration pad’ was born while I was working in an advertising agency,’ comments the designer. ‘I was drawing projects in a notebook when suddenly it hit me how a classic notebook, however beautiful, is always very rigid and grid-like. by turning the blue lines upside down, I wanted to make one that would inspire people, and to give them more freedom than their school notebooks did.’
