Last week I got my first dot grid book (& my first moleskine) and I loved it so much I thought I would share this great resource with you.
This dot grid book is great for sketching and finalising logo designs but I think pictures describe it better than words so here are a few pictures of what your missing out on…
You can buy the book from Behance Outfitter for USD$14 or if in Australia, from NoteMaker for $27.95.
Enjoy!
Perfect for typography and logo design, the lightness of the grid allows clear scanning.
Spread view of the dot book.
The dot grid book in use, not sure why they put the orange border there.
Lines don’t interfere with your work.
The lightness of the grid allows clear scanning.
Double perforations for easy removal.
Double sprial binding.
The dot grid.
The cover detail.
The outside Suede-Touch cover with packaging.
Do you own a dot grid or moleskine book? What are your opinions?

Handy little book that, but I would expect to pay half what you paid for it!
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:21 AM
Those looks nice! I’m going to look into getting some.
February 23rd, 2009 at 1:34 PM
I need to bite the bullet and get some:)

This is a great article I have never used either but I do want to get them.

I’ve been using light graphing paper to achieve the same effect. Cheaper but not near as good. I think i’ll switch over. Thanks for sharing.

A really good idea! Thanks and keep up the good work :)
February 23rd, 2009 at 11:15 PM
looks really useful! not only for type design, but for everything!

A great tool for logo design and typography. I bookmarked this page as well as other others. I’ll be sure to credit your site once I get mines up :)

I kept hearing about “moleskins” I think I might get my own copy now. Seems like a good thing to have when sketching out Ideas.

This looks like a fantastic alternative the regular grid paper and napkins that I’ve been using for sketching. ;-)

Sweet! Nice detailed photos convinced me. (Officially added to my wish list.)
For sketching, doodling or even writing — whatever the use — I’ve always hated those pesky lines. I’ll have to stock up on these.

Yeah, I use the Behance-models for drawing icons and UI-elements. Love them!
February 24th, 2009 at 12:43 PM
Yeah, I am getting one! I wanted something with structure but actual grid lines are distracting and somewhat intimidating. This is brilliant.
Moleskine needs to do this.

Hmmm….considering I’m a broke@ss, I think I’ll be making my own, but thanks!
February 24th, 2009 at 9:01 PM
Did a similar on my own… really useful!
February 25th, 2009 at 2:06 AM
Ah, I need to pick one of those up! :D

February 25th, 2009 at 9:17 AM
Just what I needed, I’m ordering it now.
February 28th, 2009 at 1:03 AM
Just ordered mine! :) I also got the Pocket notebook! http://www.creativesoutfitter......otebook/12

I don’t really have the resources for a moleskin at the moment. Besides, I’ve still got lots of pages in this dollar-store-quality sketchbook I bought last semester.
February 28th, 2009 at 5:58 PM
Wow this would be a great book for typography and even modern simplistic art. Though I’d be sorely tempted to find a picture in the dots… =)

I choose my Moleskine. I have my schoolbag system and it’s a grid and spiral bindings don’t go with grids very well. xoxo, Raphael :)
March 20th, 2009 at 9:27 AM
Yes, Moleskine 4ever ;)
