AUTUMN//WINTER 2017 19 document your ink collection. Many bullet journal devotees want to turn their journal into a thing of beauty as well as set goals, and they go online for inspiration. Leuchtturm1917 offers the only official licensed Bullet Journal, complete with the brand’s embossed logo, but several manufacturers have responded by producing variations on the theme. Abrams Noterie has recently released its Jot Dot Doodle Notebooks with tactile embossed covers and gridded paper inside, aimed at ‘diligent notetakers and dedicated doodlers’, to encourage artistic creativity as well as an organised mind. The Next Big Thing? A natural extension of the mindfulness trend is kindness. The book trade identified the publishing trend for ‘up lit’ earlier in 2017, and we’re now seeing this filter through to journals. Chronicle Books has just released Kindness Every Day: A Journal. Users can read inspiring quotes on how to build a life of peace, wellness and happiness by recording how they offer and receive kindness. What’s not to love? Journalers love to adorn their pages and personalise their doodles using accessories like mt tape and pens in every colour. Stabilo’s latest ad campaign for its Boss pastel highlighters carries the hashtag #mystabilojournal so users can share their journal layouts on Instagram. Retailers are responding to the journaling trend by offering accessories to upsell their core product. Kikki.K gives its newsletter subscribers helpful tips on how to form good journaling habits. The brand uses visually arresting stills and inspirational videos showing how to create the perfect, personalised journal with accessories like adhesive notes, pens and even an ‘inspiration kit’ of quotes.
