Magma Sketchbook: Idea Generation (Magma Sketchbooks) Diary – August 12, 2014

I bought this as a backhanded gift for a guy I was dating at the time. He thinks he's the next Elon Musk and is absolutely brilliant (he's not). He started as an engineering major but failed out of the program but decided that he was going to be an inventor. His ideas were ridiculous so I figured this would be a great gift for him. Not just was it a place for him to write ideas but every few sets of pages there was pages of inspiration to help bring about the creativity. I was ready to break up with him after a few weeks of dating but we were approaching Christmas, so we stayed together and I bought him a gift. However, I just couldn't take it anymore and broke up with him before we exchanged gifts so here we are where I got to regift this beautiful notebook. I ended up giving it to my brother who uses it frequently. He said it's the perfect size to carry with him everywhere and it's a good quality.

I've used Magma books for 6 years and LOVE them. This one has great inspirational quotes and idea generation thoughts every few pages. Wonderful paper that doesn't bleed through. Numbered pages so you can know that everything is consistent. Small pouch in the back for business cards.This is EXACTLY the same size as an iPad Air, so is perfect to carry the two of them back to back. Try their other designs as well. All are good.

I have this and love it! The paper is nice and thick and all of the pages are numbered. Another reviewer didn't like the idea generation suggestions - personally they don't bother me at all. They are on every third sheet, but always on the left side page. The book has rounded corners so they don't get ragged looking. The cover is thick and sturdy but still flexible and the elastic is sturdy and won't lose it's stretch as you you it.The bookmarks, back pocket, and DIY table of contents are very handy. The only negative is that it doesn't lay flat, but for me the thicker paper and greater number of pages makes it worth it.

I love this book and plan to purchase the other ones in the future. The 16 pages of references & exercises were very useful. Overall this book was extremely well made. I highly recommend it.

Perfect gift for creative co-workers.

I had really high expectations for this notebook because it seemed like it's really well designed, constructed, and is of high quality...I've mostly used moleskine's extra large blank notebook and I decided to try this one out because moleskine's pages are too thin for my liking so while this notebook has thicker pages, unfortunately, it does NOT lie flat.that's a HUGE inconvenience.I really wish it would lay flat because then it would get five stars.the little brainstorming tips in there can get annoying because there were more of it than I thought (that sounds helpful but in my opinion it obstructed the blank page) and whether they are helpful or not is yet to be known.the construction is high quality, but the pages are too bright in my opinion. Another point for moleskine is that the pages are off white , but these pages are too bright for my liking.I already opened the shrink wrap so I can't return it and I will try my best to love it. But I might have to switch back to a moleskine after this notebook is finished.

Quality product~!

Just like several other reviews talk about, the marketing on what you are getting and what you actual get is disappointing. Everything is as advertised, but the exercises through the book are placed in odd locations and there are hardly any of them. I thought this would be more of a prompting/excercise/doodle book. It is more of a sketch book or journal.

Del tamaño de un ipad, buenos materiales. Portada y contra portada de cartón no se ve que vayan a aguantar mucho, pero la calidad de las hojas al interior es buena. En general bien.

Was exactly what I wanted. Good inspiration on the pages.
