After opening a wildly fluorescent notebook cover to discover a plain white interior, I was deflated. I wanted to know whether you'd think differently on different vibrant colors.
Now you can tear one open and try it yourself.

This is my first time making a physical product, but it's friggin real so...you can tell me if you like them or hate them now.
I bought this wildly bright notebook a few years ago and it drove me nuts to find out that it was a plain dot grid notebook on the inside. I really wanted a super bright notebook to throw ideas down in, but it wasn't that.
I tried to find something similar, but didn't...

Type Study Buddy is a helpful newspaper template laid out with type. It's not even multiple typefaces! One typeface for the whole thing (outside of the pretend logo, but whatever). Anyways. Duplicate this puppy to study and pair type. Good luck. Have fun.

Yay @thomasdrach! Thanks for working on this stuff with me. It was a fun exercise and I hope folks like these because I'd like an excuse to do more of them! Maybe we can make some posters, or other physical goods in the future? What do you think?
Type.lol Store!
Type.lol is now offering free (and paid) desktop wallpapers
We launched Type.lol as a list of type foundries, curated to make type accessible to designers.
Folks have since asked how they can support, so we created the Type.lol store. Today you can download desktop wallpapers, including the free "Stay at Home" edition

I've used Cleverstack throughout its testing and beta stages. It's been an incredibly helpful tool for when I just need to think and jot down my thoughts without as much concern about layout or order. Then it's a helpful place for me to re-prioritize what it is I'm actually thinking, and how I'll end up executing on that thinking.
Pros: It's quick and easy to use. Helps get brain ideas out...

Hey @thomasdrach! Congrats on the launch!
What would you say is the feature or use case you think would be most common? Or phrased another way, how does Cleverstack best help you?

Most people might have thought, hey that's silly idea and stop there. But no, these folks made it. And it's real, and actually has a use. Gotta love when that happens. Makes the world just a touch more fun to be in.
Pros: Fun, Silly, Useful
Cons: I just found out about it.

Hola! Mark from Motel here! Excited to finally launch this thing. I've been listening to the soundtrack for the past month and wanting to learn more shortcuts for Illustrator. Happy to answer any questions, or send you a high five GIF.
