WHYNOTE X HML COLLABORATION
Welcome to the page dedicated to the WHYNOTE x HOME MADE LICENSING collaboration!
As a participating artist, you will find on this page all the useful information related to our partnership.
1. THE NOTEBOOK DESIGN
We look forward to collaborating with you! To create your personal WhyNote simply follow the instructions listed below:
WHYNOTE X HML
DESIGN WHYNOTE POCKET + A5
1.1. Artwork selection
The artist sends WhyNote a varied pre-selection of his 4-5 favorite artworks.
(Raw selection, no editing, no layout or cropping needed.)
WhyNote together with the artist will validate the design that will be used.
1.2. Templates / source files
The validated visual will be produced by the artist in POCKET and A5 formats.
Adobe InDesign files download links* :
POCKET format template
*If you are unable to use InDesign, contact us to receive the templates in Illustrator format.
1.3. Design
Use the same design between Pocket format and A5 format.
On request, a slight variation of the design is possible as long as an aesthetic link between the 2 formats remains strong and obvious.
The content can be cropped differently from one format to another if desired.
1.4. Design guidelines - 1st cover (recto)
- Space exclusively dedicated to the artist's artwork (no mentions or texts).
- Signature/autograph possible.
- Use the WhyNote logo and the “swiss made” inscription in the original locations. If necessary, the WhyNote logo can be positioned in 2 other locations (visible on the InDesign source file).
- On request, the WhyNote logo can be positioned differently if necessary.
1.5. Design guidelines - 2nd cover (verso)
- The design can overflow onto the 2nd cover or fill it completely.
- Possibility of inserting a text presenting the work and/or the artist. Max 400 characters. With the tone that best suits the artist (humorous, offbeat or serious).
- Possibility of inserting links to the artist's website and social networks (QR codes accepted). Ideally at the bottom of the page, typography size max 12pt.
- Signature/autograph possible.
This back cover must remain as aesthetic and qualitative as the cover (must not look like an “ad flyer”).
1.6. Export of production files
Follow the export instructions mentioned on the production file.
The artist will also provide WhyNote with a "package" of the InDesign document (go to FILE menu -> PACKAGE...), which includes all source files.
WhyNote will use these source files for the notebooks production and communication purposes only.
The artist's design will be used by WhyNote on the various communication media linked to the promotion of the collaboration (Instagram/Facebook post, email campaign, banner on the homepage, etc.)
