Field Notes Snowy Evening Edition 3-Pack
Field Notes Snowy Evening Edition 3-Pack
The Winter 2020 edition of Field Notes is called "Snowy Evening", and features a unique snowflake and each of the near 100,000 covers! Inspired by the physics behind how ice crystals are formed in the atmosphere, Field Notes crafted an algorithm that produced and rendered 99,999 lovely snowflake illustrations. (Read the whole story here). With the expertise of their partners at Lake County Press, the covers were printed over the course of five days on a next-generation digital press with white ink on “Deep Blue” Mohawk Carnival Vellum 80# cover. The Finch Opaque inside pages feature a special light-blue-gray dot-graph pattern. The books are bound with glossy white staples and held together by the "most handsome" “belly band” to date.
