The software giant uses technology to create a very clever Moleskine indeed.
Adobe's Moleskine is designed for digital
We all love our Moleskine notebooks, right? And whatever your views on Adobe, few designers can live without its software. Well, now the two companies have teamed up on a new product that will sorely tempt creatives everywhere – as well as those scratching their heads over what to buy a designer for Christmas.
Because the Adobe Creative Cloud-branded Moleskine notebook for sketching isn't just beautifully produced. It also allows you to easily convert your drawings into digital form, so you can work on them further in Photoshop or Illustrator.
Paper to screen
Convert your notebook sketches into digital files with this clever app
So how does it work? In short, you draw in the 'Moleskine Smart Notebook (Creative Cloud connected)' and capture your creations using the companion app (free for iPhone only).
Essentially, the page markers in the corners of the notebook assist the pre-processing and the optimization of the image. The image is then synced to Adobe Creative Cloud in two different file formats (JPG and SVG) and can be opened and edited in Photoshop CC or Illustrator CC for the final stages of your work.
Simplifying the process
The companion app is free for iOS users
"Adobe is committed to providing products and services that simplify the creative process from concept to production," explained Behance's Scott Belsky. "Our collaboration with Moleskine helps facilitate this process, with tools for sketching on paper and then refining the project digitally."
