From [Adobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firefly-boards) Principal Designer Khoi Vinh in collaboration with Baron Fig, Unfinish is an interactive notebook full of creative prompts. The [limited edition notebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-x-blackpink) in non-repro blue is filled with incomplete drawings you get to finish. The creative prompts are "odd, unfinished pictures that invite you to finish, add, convolute, torment, tickle -- and everything in between."

Unfinish features abstract cutouts on blank pages made out of high quality acid-free fine grain paper. It also comes with 12 perforated pages at the back for you to rip out without worrying about the binding, in addition to the 192 pages. The simple and beautifully designed notebook has a plain cover, opens flat and has smart dimensions for ever evolving designs.
