GRID: A Thumbnail Sketchbook

Introducing GRID, the thumbnail sketchbook designed for the ideating stage of the creative process. GRID is crafted to empower creatives to effortlessly translate their ideas from mind to paper, push boundaries, and expand their practice. 

V.1

Each page of GRID V.1 features a grid layout comprising 16 squares, providing the perfect canvas for your imagination to flow freely. Break away from creative blockades as you redraw a concept in 16 unique ways, explore diverse perspectives with 16 distinct ideas on a single page, or breathe new life into your words by rewriting a poem 16 times.

V.2

While version 1 of GRID is a classic 16 block thumbnail sketchbook, version 2 elevates the process to a crucial turning point—a moment of decision, a definitive progression. Introducing a generous blank canvas beneath the initial 8-block grid allows users to amplify and expand their most promising iteration of their concept. Now that you have more space, how can the idea develop even more? Can you visualize what the next step is for this idea? Scaling an idea allows for space, mentally and physically.
