The Design

About Idea And Plan Skrivesaker

Idea og Plan-serien er designet for å lette den daglige byrden med å holde oversikt over gjøremålslister, organisering, møter og ideer. Designprosessen startet med å studere ulike bullet journals, planleggere og skissebøker fra forskjellige merker, etterfulgt av en spørsmålsrunde blant venner og familie for å få bedre forståelse for ulike måter å lage lister og skissere på. Idea og Plan-serien trengte et annet perspektiv. Gjennom ordlek, kontrastfarger, typografi og selvforklarende innhold ble serien designet for å tilføre et snev av farge og moro til ens daglige forpliktelser.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: This project is a collaboration between of two brands, PK Design and Keskin Color. The set consists of notebooks, planners and magnets. The design puts a play on the two words, idea and plan, and creates two different types of organizers, one for to do lists, one for ideas and sketches.
Dimensions & Packaging: Idea notebook: 13x21cm, hard cover, elastic fabric band for page protection
Plan notebook: 9x14cm, hard cover, elastic fabric band for page protection

Idea and Plan weekly planners: 26x12cm

Idea and Plan magnets: 10 x 19cm, notepad size: 8x11cm, a pencil included within the design
Tags: stationery, organizer, notebook, planner, notepad, magnet
Production Technology: Production was realized by Keskin Color, which is both the client and the partner in the project. Keskin Color was responsible for the production and distribution of the products.
The notebooks are each 80 spread with 80 gr paper. All printing is in color.
Design Challenge: The design needed to apply to a large audience and aim to organize their busy schedules and collecting all data in one place. The Idea notebook was tricky because the page layout had to be sufficient for an average person's hand writing and sketch process.
Colors were specifically made to cheer the owner of the products, literally adding a splash of color to everyday responsibilities and brain storming.
Another challenge was to make the products pop among other notebooks, planners and magnets. The typography and color scheme were designed to be loud and clear in order to quickly capture the attention of a possible buyer.
Research: An overall search for a common ground and differentiating points among planners and bullet journals was a must prior to the design process. It was almost like a sociological research since the two concepts were to apply to a large mass.
Some of the other research steps were: many trips to different stationery shops, Q&A with friends and co-workers about note-taking and daily organizers and color tests to find the right ones.
Inspiration: Daily chores and organizational skills.
Office life and the pace of modern world, mixed with humor and practicality.
Effects of colors on human psychology.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2018, in Istanbul. Design was finished at the end of November 2018.
Products were on shelves in April 2019.
Operation Flow: Idea and Plan stationery products are meant for personal use on a daily basis. Plan notebook is a small, pocket size notebook because since it is all about to-do lists and reminders so the owner has to carry it around. Idea notebook is a little larder than Plan, in order to capture the wonderful ideas, sketches, inventions and general brainstorming of its owner. Each notebook has an elastic fabric band in order to protect the content. The band can also be used as a pencil holder. The other products within the set use the same content and color scheme as the notebooks and appropriated to the specific product's size and use.
