Graphic Design
The covers are wrapped in soft watercolor foliage, blending cool greens, dusty teals, and earthy olive tones. Each leaf and stem is painted with care, creating an airy, balanced composition that brings tranquility to the design. The white background enhances the minimal aesthetic, while the organic brushstrokes lend an artisanal and timeless charm.
Ideal for eco-conscious creatives, wellness brands, or boutique stationery retailers, these notebooks combine functionality with subtle sophistication.
