Cover: Using black as the base color, creating a mysterious and calm atmosphere. There are exquisite golden patterns etched on it, with a complex symbol in the center that combines clock and magic elements, surrounded by Roman numerals, and also incorporating decorative elements such as trees and cloud patterns. The lines are delicate and smooth, full of artistic sense, and the overall style leans towards fantasy and retro.

Material: The cover material may be high-quality imitation leather or similar hard materials, with good texture, wear resistance, and a certain degree of flexibility, which can effectively protect the inner pages.

Details: The side is equipped with leather straps for easy closure of the notebook, which protect the inner pages and prevent the notebook from unraveling; There are also color striped bookmark strips, which facilitate users to quickly locate the desired page, combining aesthetics and practicality. The quality of the inner page paper is relatively high, possibly ivory white or similar colors, with a smooth texture and smooth writing. It has good control over ink bleeding and is suitable for writing, painting, recording inspiration, etc.

Production process

Cover design and sampling

Design concept: The designer first determines a retro and mysterious style theme, and then creates patterns around this theme, integrating elements such as clocks, trees, and cloud patterns to draw a preliminary design sketch.

Digital design: Use professional design software (such as Adobe Illustrator, etc.) to convert sketches into high-precision vector graphics, accurately adjust the lines, proportions, colors, and other details of the pattern, simulate etching effects, and view the overall visual effect.

Sample making: Based on the digital design file, make a cover sample, present the design effect through different processes (such as etching, hot stamping, etc.), inspect the clarity, color matching, and integration with the black cover background of the pattern, and optimize and adjust the design according to the inspection results.

Material selection: Choose suitable black hard cover materials, such as high-quality imitation leather, synthetic leather, or other hard paper, to ensure that they have good texture, wear resistance, and flexibility.

Etching and hot stamping: Using etching technology, transfer the designed gold pattern onto the black cover. By using high temperature and high pressure, the metal foil (gold) is tightly combined with the cover material, presenting a delicate golden etching pattern. During the etching and hot stamping process, it is necessary to strictly control parameters such as temperature, pressure, and time to ensure the clarity and integrity of the pattern.

Internal page production

Paper selection: Choose high-quality paper, such as ivory white writing paper, considering indicators such as weight, smoothness, whiteness, ink absorption, etc., to ensure that the paper is suitable for writing and not prone to ink bleeding.

Printing cutting: Printing on paper according to design requirements, such as printing horizontal lines, squares, or blank pages. After printing is completed, the paper is cut into appropriate sizes using cutting equipment, and the corners of the page are rounded to increase aesthetics.

Binding assembly

Binding: Align the cut inner pages and use a hardcover binding method, such as lockstithing or wireless binding, to firmly fix the inner pages together.

Assembly: Assemble the prepared cover and bound inner pages, install accessories such as leather straps and color striped bookmark straps, and complete the production of the entire notebook.
