Skutch for Everything Sketching

Posted on by

Skutch is an innovative sketching tool that combines design and geometry in an instinctive manner. Like an extension of one’s hand, its unique shape has been studied to allow the use of all geometrical design functions without limiting creativity. Use it as a cm/in ruler or compass, create perfect perpendicular lines, or 30°, 60° or 90° angles, rounded corners and more with one simplistic solution. See it in action —>

Moku might just look like a plain ole’ 4×4, but it’s actually a minimalist product that makes paper rolls for sketching a little easier to use. Inspired by kyoto woodworking, the handcrafted design is deceptively simple and fits together without any hinges or hardware. Perfect for brainstorming or mind-mapping, Moku makes it easy to create and save your work chronologically in space-saving, replaceable rolls you can reference at any time! Awesome vid after the jump! —>

For Your Million Dollar Ideas: Napkin Sketchbook

Posted on by

Napkin Sketchbook

JK Rowling wrote down her ideas for Harry Potter on paper napkins, which is now one of the biggest franchises of all time. I’m sure a lot of other people made it big by writing down their ideas on napkins, but she’s the only one I can think of right now. Inspiring story, though, isn’t it?

If you want to have a similar story about how you made it big, then you might want to get one of these Napkin Sketchbooks. At least you’ll be able to say you came up with that amazing, multi-billion dollar idea after jotting down your thoughts on a paper napkin–even though it wasn’t by whim or chance, but due to calculated moves.

The sturdy case comes with 10 napkins and a Sharpie to get your started. It’s available online for $38. It’s pretty steep, so you might want to get a hundred-pack of napkins from your grocery instead for much less.

iSketchnote: From Your Pen and Paper to Your iPad

iSketchNote

Stylus pens make it easier for you to scribble notes or doodle on your iPad, but what if you wanted a physical copy of it, too? The last time I did this, I had to take screenshots of my work, transfer the files to my laptop, and arrange everything on a Word processor before I could print it. It took up a lot of time and I didn’t really end up with the kind of printed notes that I wanted.

If you do this a lot, then you might want to check out the iSketchnote. It’s smarter than your average smart iPad cover as it integrates a new digitizing technology called ISKN technology.

So how does it work? The cover has built-in sensors that recognize and track the movements of the iSketchnote pen, which is your basic ballpoint pen with a magnetic ring on it. It comes with a companion app that digitizes your notes and lets you choose ink colors for your digital notes.

Aside from letting you simultaneously take notes on your notebook and iPad, iSketchnote’s Open Mode enables real-time sharing so you can share your notes with anyone who’s anywhere in the world.

iSketchnote is currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of $149 will get you the complete pack which includes the cover and three pens.
