Title: Field Notes Brand: Mile Marker Edition!
Post by: davmillar on March 26, 2019, 12:31:26 PM
Field Notes Brand just unveiled their new quarterly special edition: Mile Marker!

QuoteThe bright, beefy covers are made from Westrock Tango 12pt C1S and covered with Pantone Toyo inks as specified by the awesome US DOT Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. They've also been stamped with holographic Crown Foil so they're easy to spot in the beams of your headlights.

As a combination stationery nerd and roadgeek, I am so amped for this! They've also announced this new map as well:

QuoteThe companion to "Mile Marker"  is an old-school gas-station-style, difficult-to-refold-properly, Field Notes National Highway Map. [...] The map unfolds to 36" x 24.5" and features a large, colorful diagram of the continental Interstate System, designed exclusively for Field Notes by Mr. Cameron Booth of Portland, Oregon. It's a beautiful and thoughtful data design solution.

Hm.  Being a stationery nerd seems backwards to me, since you collect a product meant to be used up.

Pretty, though. The map is a nice touch.

I use them but hold onto them as well. One of my favorite things to do is take a drive out to a rural rest area or picnic area and draw or write puzzles while enjoying the fresh air or watching traffic. :)

"DON'T WRITE & DRIVE"--that's a fun message indeed!
