# Dual-Purpose Notebooks This Cute Notebook Kit Includes a Mix of Lined & Blank Pages By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-12-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cute-notebook References: [fabricashop.myshopify](http://fabricashop.myshopify.com/products/graphite) & [catarinacarreiras](http://www.catarinacarreiras.com/Graphite) Designed by Catarina Carreiras and Mariana Fernandes, Graphite is a cute notebook set that's made up of [sketchbooks, notebooks and pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-pencils)—everything you need to get ideas flowing. With pages that appeal to those who like to start with a blank slate, as well as lined pages for those who like a little more structure, this creativity-inducing set is ideal for drawings, letters, documenting ideas or doodles. The [monochromatic color scheme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumon) of the set is designed to represent the connections between paper and thinking, suggested by the use of contrasting black and white details. As Carreiras notes, the quirky "Double ended notebook is one example of the novel and surprising details informed by the particularities of stationary and how we engage with them through our creative endeavors." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Dual-purpose Notebooks:** The trend of dual-purpose notebooks combines blank and lined pages to cater to different creative needs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Stationery:** The stationery industry can explore new product designs and formats to meet the demand for dual-purpose notebooks. - **Creative Arts:** The creative arts industry can utilize dual-purpose notebooks to provide versatile tools for artists and writers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Refillable Notebook Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notebook-system.md) - [Magnetic Whiteboard Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiteboard-notebook.md) - [Unique Writing Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphite-paintbrush-writing-instrument.md) - [Cubic Minimalist Memo Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memo-block.md) - [Clinical Bed Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hospital-bed-notebook.md) - [Hybrid Luxe Card Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noteanote.md) - [Pattern-Drawing Dual-Tip Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colored-curve-pens.md) - [Leather-Bound Connected Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connected-notebooks.md) - [Pleated Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-and-issey-miyake.md)
