Design idea for notebooks

Monica Cirstea

Notebook design tazhib

Well… all of us, students who have enjoyed their free time for the last 3 months should face up to the fact that the holidays are over… Cheer up! This is a new start, be optimistic – sometimes school is not only about heavy workload and assignments to deal with. For this reason, today I’ll present you the way I decorate my notebooks – I’ve always loved calligraphy and book decoration and my notebooks are a real proof of this artistic approach I have towards school materials and not only 🙂

This design have been inspired by the exquisite Iranian painting, tazhib. This style may is sometimes adorned with golden leaf and the bright colours used create a spectacular effect. Tazhib in Iran dates back to the Sassanid era. It became an Islamic art, better known as arabesque.

This kind of drawing is a sample of perfection and great detail accuracy. Although it’s quite difficult and time-consuming, I think it is worth all the effort, because the final aspect is truly special. Enjoy!
