Hacked Moleskines

Posted by Pythia on February 23, 2006

On the left is “my brain,” iconized with a file drawer label holder, and to the right is my notepad for learning CSS.

When you get your first Moleskine, you think, “This looks so cool, just like it is,” and you vow never to desecrate its stark black beauty, especially with anything so pedestrian or inane as stickers.

Then somehow, your sole little Moleskine begins to reproduce, and soon there are black notebooks everywhere. What do you do? Which one is which? One is for sketching, another is for writing, but which one is which?

One solution (for there are many others) is to iconize (yes, I just made up a word) the cover of your favorite black notebooks. Just like you might dress up a little black dress with a favorite scarf or piece of jewelry, why not decorate your Moleskine, but with a purpose?
