In this digital era, many of us have forgotten about the existence of conventional notebooks. Note-taking applications are readily available online and electronic gadgets like laptops and smartphones are very much favoured by the younger generations. As a result, paper notebooks are gradually left behind by those who seek instant gratification. In an effort to promote local brands and recognise homegrown creative talents, George Town Festival is releasing a notebook in collaboration with Penang-based stationery producer Muccapaper and illustrator Yuki Koe in 2021. More than just a notebook, “A Notebook” is meticulously handcrafted by Muccapaper featuring four creative, one-of-a-kind doodles with stories about the Festival illustrated by Yuki. So be prepared to glimpse into the Festival’s spirit while jotting your way through this beautiful notebook, which graciously combines the elements of arts and crafts.
