A plain blue notebook for people who think in sketches, diagrams and lists. Bright blue pages and a white gel pen. Get the mess out of your head and onto the page.
Drop 001 is a limited first run. Once it sells out, it won't be restocked before Christmas.
Drag to turn it
For heads that never switch off.
If you think by drawing it out, this is your notebook. Blue pages make it feel like a whiteboard you can carry.
Engineers
Sketch the system first.
Block diagrams, rough calcs and to-do lists that don't need to be neat.
Architects
Plans before the software.
Floor plans, sections and quick elevations in crisp white lines.
Creatives
Ideas with nowhere to go.
Moodboards, storyboards, lyrics, logos. Blue pages make it easy to start.
Overthinkers
Empty your head at 11pm.
Dump the list, map out the problem, close the notebook and get some sleep.
Why blue pages
White pages ask for neat notes. Blue pages are for working things out.
We made the pages blue because colour changes how people work. Blue feels open and low-pressure, so you sketch, cross out and keep going. The white gel pen shows up bright and clean against it.
Mehta & Zhu, University of British Columbia, Science (2009): people given blue backgrounds came up with more creative ideas than those given red.
Everything you need, nothing on the cover.
No logo, no slogan. A clean blue notebook you can carry to a meeting, a lecture or a café table.

Questions
How does the pre-order work?
You pay now to reserve your notebook from Drop 001. Pre-orders are first come, first served. Everything ships at the start of December, so you get yours before Christmas.
When will it arrive?
We ship at the start of December. Delivery takes about 5 business days after that. We'll email you a tracking link when it's on the way.
Is my money safe?
Yes. If your order is delayed past Christmas or cancelled for any reason, you get a full refund.
Can I use a normal pen?
You can, but dark ink is hard to read on blue. White gel, silver or pastel pens work best. That's why one comes in the box.
Why is there no logo on the front?
So it's yours. A plain cover looks right anywhere, and you can add stickers if you like.
