Whitelines Notebooks and Journals
Think about it. We have been using paper with dark lines
for ages. You probably used it in school as a child. At work, you may have
made notes in a meeting and later not been sure what a syllable or word
meant because it clashed with the dark line crossing over it. The pen
makes dark lines, and the dark lines on the paper requires us to put in
extra effort to distinguish them. We often don't realize it, but these clashes
reduce our concentration.
The story of the line took a
completely different direction when the simple but ingenious idea of having
writing paper with white "non-conflict" lines occurred to Swedish designer Olof Hansson. Why wouldn't you choose
paper without distracting lines, if you could? It's more pleasant to
write on and easier to read from. The lines don't show up on photocopies, there's less glare in strong light, and
people with dyslexia are helped with it.
Take a look. Give them a try. We think you'll be pleased with the results!
