Sketchnote Journal

Vacation can mean so many things. And pictures often say more than a thousand words.

How can I learn to visualise my thoughts quickly and easily on paper? The Sketchnote journal is a source of inspiration and a workbook with guidance and tips from professionals intended to help you learn how to create visual notes step by step – the basics are shown in an easily understandable and fun way. Do you want to get your colleagues excited about an idea? Would you like to create understandable notes or simply bring order to your own thoughts? Explaining something with the usual methods often only works to a limited extent because there is a lack of structure and because everyone understands things differently.

Sketch and note. Visual notes. Practically all ideas and concepts can be visualised using this method. Sometimes just a few strokes are enough to give form to a mental model, making it visible and thus understandable for others. There is a good reason for the saying ‘A picture is worth a thousand words’.

Everything starts from a dot.

Wassily Kandinsky, painter and lecturer at the Bauhaus school, summed it up neatly when he said: ‘Everything starts from a dot.’ This quote highlights the fact that for creative minds, the process of committing ideas to paper via the hand begins with a dot on the page. The first point of contact between thoughts and paper – a crucial moment.

Clean, minimalist forms, functional details and classic colours are key features of the modern era’s most influential design school – and also the principles that have always guided the design of LEUCHTTURM1917 products.

As a tribute to the revolutionary Bauhaus style, we have created a special edition that encompasses a notebook, Pen Loop and Drehgriffel and whose form, colour and details honour the pioneering Bauhaus ethos.

Planners 2023

The range of functions a planner may need to fulfil are as varied and individual as people’s daily schedules. We at LEUCHTTURM1917 are well aware of this fact – which is why we created five different planner variants. Each of our planners offers users a unique set of benefits to meet individual requirements.

A planner should be a daily tool. It helps us to structure our working days and weekends, schedule and keep appointments and remember important events – in short, it should be our constant companion. At the same time, everyone needs to ask themselves “What do I want my planner to do for me?”.
