The Manchester Colour Palette A5 Notepad

Manchester Sketchbook Gift for Artists, Designers and Creative People

Whenever I’m researching a new Colour Palette, I spend a lot of time walking around a place, looking at buildings, signs, landmarks and all those little details that give somewhere its character. I take plenty of photographs, but I also love to sketch the places I visit. It makes you stop, look properly and notice things you might otherwise walk straight past.

So it seemed only right that the Colour Palettes should become sketchbooks too.

The Manchester Colour Palette Sketchbook is an A5 notebook featuring our distinctive six-colour Manchester design, with 60 sheets ready for your own sketches, drawings, doodles, notes, plans and ideas.

And there’s plenty of Manchester inspiration on the cover. The new palette takes in the tiled façade of the Peveril of the Peak, the city’s worker bee, the Hacienda, Oasis, Manchester’s industrial heritage and historic Chetham’s Library.

I sketch the places I visit while researching The Colour Palette Company. Now you can too.

Use it as a travel sketchbook, artist’s notebook, drawing pad, journal, student notepad or everyday ideas book. It makes a colourful and practical Manchester gift for artists, illustrators, designers, students, architects and creative people, as well as music fans and anyone who simply loves putting pen or pencil to paper.

Made in the UK using sustainable FSC-accredited materials, it’s designed to be carried around, scribbled in, drawn in and gradually filled with ideas.

Take it out. Look around. Sketch something.
