The cover, which is branded with Goodman's signature text, was designed with the specific intention of promoting a more active and visually driven mind. As an artist, Goodman frequently turns his words into art, which is why the notebook is filled with phrases such as "Meetings Kill Creativity," a statement of solidarity aiming to attract those with vibrant imaginations. Goodman hopes the notebook will serve as a means of inspiration, encouraging artists and dreamers to fill the pages with [quotes, doodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tissue-box-collection) or any other form of [creative expression](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativit-12) that occupies one's mind during work meetings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Creativity-promoting Notebooks:** Designer notebooks that aim to encourage creativity in business meetings. - **Visual-driven Design:** Designs that prioritize visual stimulation to enhance creativity. - **Artistic Expression in Meetings:** Embracing creative expression in business meetings to foster innovation. ### Where This Applies - **Stationery:** Creating specialty notebooks for creative professionals. - **Design:** Incorporating visually stimulating elements into various products and services. - **Art:** Promoting artistic expression in unconventional settings, such as business meetings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Analog Creativity-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unleash-your-genius.md) - [Creativity Enhancing WFH Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/other-angles-collection.md) - [Elegant Analog Note Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-taking-kit.md) - [Modular Refillable Notebook Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notebook-system.md) - [Magnetic Whiteboard Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiteboard-notebook.md) - [Clinical Bed Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hospital-bed-notebook.md) - [Custom Notebook Designers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/griiid.md) - [Wellness-Focused Stationery Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affirmation-gel-pens.md) - [Digital Productivity Desk Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-accessory-concept.md)
