Spring brings a new item to our line of Quarterly Editions. These new notebooks look like our Original Kraft memo books, with the notable absence of our brand name. This ________ edition allows you to customize your Field Notes with any phrase of your choosing with the included authentic dry-transfer lettering!
Relive the golden age of graphic arts and command the power of 36-point Futura Bold using our FN-11 Dry Transfer Kit and the FN-11B Application Template (click here for template and detailed instructions). Kern and align carefully for the authentic Field Notes look, or go crazy with creativity and make the damn thing look like a Bay City Rollers fanzine. No one can stop you.
We asked our Graphic Arts teacher, Mr. Bedell, to show how it’s done:
Each kit includes three blank Field Notes (French Dur-O-Tone 80# “Packing Brown Wrap” covers with “Double Knee Duck Canvas”-lined graph paper), one sheet of transfer lettering, a burnishing stick, and an instruction card
