With almost a year in the making and a resultant 128 pages, the Little Otsu Annual Vol. 1 weekly planner is the most elaborate project we’ve ever worked on! Collaborating with our good friend, the amazing artist and graphic designer <A HREF="http://www.martinealicia.com" target=_blank>Martine Workman</A>, we set a goal of making a dream planner that could provide plenty of space and function while showcasing different art on every page.<br>
Incorporating a series of pattern drawings—among them abstract flowers, clouds, and many different shaped knots—we give each week, 54 in all, a two-page spread with lots of features and a unique look. Starting with our dateless format, which allows you to begin your planner whenever you want, we give you a shortcut by allowing you to check off the month you’re in. Then each day is given plenty of alternating lines which make for easy list-making. We’ve also added structured room below the days to write lists, notes, and to-dos for the week. To top it off, each week has a different non sequitur question at the bottom for a laugh or just a break from organizing. Who said planning had to be so serious?<br>
Besides our great weekly pages, we built in other sections to organize aspects of your life that don’t happen on a daily basis. There are easy reference pages for personal information, your important dates (like appointments, events, travel), special occasions, gifts, and entertainment interests (books, movies, music). We’ve also included mini reference calendars for 2007-2009, address book entries, and notes pages. We’ve even made a bookmark that doubles as a list of dates to remember so that your important days are always at hand. The 8” x 5.5” book is perfect-bound and printed locally by a family-owned press with vegetable-based inks on 100% post-consumer recycled paper.<br>
Between the utility of good design and the beauty of detailed and varied artwork, we couldn’t be prouder to present the first volume in our series of signature weekly planners.
