What would YOU put on the cover of a notebook?!

[nirvana]

So, a friend is thinking of branching out into notebook production and I'm helping him out with ideas. I know we've got a lot of creative people here, and I just thought I'd get some feedback. I'd love to here any ideas you have!

If you were personalising a funky notebook, what would YOU put on the cover?
It obviously has to be something that is marketable and commercial; not something one in a thousand people would buy.

I'm mainly looking for one-liners, quotes, definitions etc that could come smack in the middle of the cover in a small font (if they're two part quotes, they can continue at the back). e.g. front cover: "madness?" back cover: "THIS IS SPARTA!!!"
We want the series to be cool, funky and original. Not quotes that have been hackneyed to death! And varied stuff that would appeal to all age-groups!

Lets see what all you guys can come up with!! Any other ideas related to graphics, design and printing etc are welcome too!!

I would put cute love quotes or friendship quotes. Maybe collage-like notebook covers that all the girls do, with bright cutouts and places to stick your own pictures in. It would be marketable - some girls want to do those, but they don't have the skills.

I actually have one for my English notebook/binder. I'm in love with it everytime I see it. I made it. Let me try it out and see if I can attach the file or upload it. :D It's pretty much what a love w/ music lyrics on it!

It's really small because the file is huge, so yeah.

^ That is exactly what I'm talking about. I love it!

[OCallyFaN80]

hehehe.. Thanks. I always admire my notebook, is that wrong? And that artwork gave me good reputation when it came to graphic arts. :D

[oclover24]

You made the whole thing? Even the quotes?

You are amazing. No wonder they all bow to you. ;)

[OCallyFaN80]

I made the whole thing. The words are from song lyrics. hehehe.. I just made it. :lol: If that's what you meant.

hehehe.. Thank you! Your so nice! :D

Did you make it in photoshop and print it on notebook paper?

[OCallyFaN80]

Nope. All PhotoShop/PaintShop Pro. :D

[oclover24]

That's so cool! I would love to own Photoshop. My life is different now. Posters are so fun to make on it!

[OCallyFaN80]

:lol: Totally! My teacher was like people would buy that as posters. I was like Mr. D, it's not that good. :lol: He said I should make a career out of it. :lol: Again, not that great. My friend said that I should make her one and she would pay me. I was like hell yeah, but she never really mentioned the subject back up again. :lol:

[oclover24]

You've inspired me to try to make one. :D Instead of working on graphics, I'm working on this. ;)

[OCallyFaN80]

hehehe.. I'm glad that your being inspired by my work. You have no idea how much that means to me. :D
