As a young lad, I remember watching my Dad sketch out different concepts for various signs he would hand paint for local storefronts. Drawing the custom letterforms, framing his composition with the information for the next big sale. I saw him draw rough ideas for his next stained glass commission, whether it was a window in a local home or for the presidential palace in Guatamala. At a young age I learned how important it was to “see” with your hands what you were going to create. Miro Notebooks provide a great way for me to carry on that timeless tradition in my design work as a working professional. With these notebooks you will always have a place to remember what you wonder. -Chris Compton Gadget Guard

Spring is in the air and with it comes a new batch of fresh photography. This season, we commissioned photographer Katie Edwards to raise a new crop of photos. We can’t seem to stop staring at them. These new digital delights will be sprinkled throughout our website, in our trade-show booth and throughout our advertising. But in case you haven’t seen them yet, here’s a smattering of favorites:

Sketching today is just as important as it was before. A method of jotting down a rough idea; a process to help flesh out a concept, a story, and anything else the mind may wonder. Throughout the ages the mediums used for sketching have evolved. Dating back to the cave man era, the walls of the earth lent it’s surface as a medium for people to record their history, thoughts and story telling. Sketching is essentially a thought on paper (or rock). Has much changed since the age of the cave man? Civilization and technology may have made advancements, but the canvas for the mind’s thoughts will always be needed. What better canvas to remember what you wonder on than a Miro notebook? – iamsouk / Graphic Designer

This Spy Hop student is learning how to make, record, and produce his own beats in an intensive 3 week workshop.  ”In the Mix” class will gives students a strong foundation in beatmaking.
