Designing Notebooks Between Red Bull and Turkeys
- Mar 11

Some people design products in beautiful studios surrounded by inspiration boards and fancy lighting.
I design a lot of mine between sipping Red Bull's… sitting in the maintenance office of a turkey processing plant.
Yes, really.

Between work orders, radio calls, and the occasional meeting that absolutely could have been an email, ideas for designing new notebooks tend to show up.
That’s how some of the Print & Panic office humor notebooks were born — including the latest one, Mentally Out of Office.
Because let’s be honest… sometimes your brain clocks out of a meeting before the rest of you does.
If you’ve ever taken notes while secretly plotting your escape from a meeting, this notebook might feel a little too relatable.
Sometimes the best ideas come from the most unexpected places — even a turkey plant maintenance office.
New notebooks are being added regularly to the Print & Panic collection, each designed with a little sarcasm and a lot of real-life inspiration.
