I am of the firm belief that making your notes and academic supplies visually appealing makes everything better. When I get in a rut, whatever the cause, becoming inspired is one of my favorite tricks for pulling myself out. I love to engage my inner child, even if-- and especially when-- my college academic self is struggling with work and feeling overwhelmed.
Recently, in a procrastination/academic overwhelm rut, I designed a few binder/notebook covers to inspire me to get organized. I had papers stuffed into random folders and print-outs that I probably needed to read but where's my to-do list why is none of this labeled and-- well, you get the idea. I needed to file my papers and assignments in some sort of system, which I decided early on was going to be a binder system. I had my college ruled note paper, my three hold punch, and a couple of very plain binders.
So, with photoshop, creative commons image search, and a good bit of focused procrastination, I designed some printable binder covers. As it happened, once I printed them out and wrote in my class titles, I was halfway done with my organization project.
To save you all some time and creative stress, I am uploading my designs here. Or, click the images below and save to your computer, where you can edit it or print it and handwrite (as I did). If you use any of my designs, link back to my blog.
Happy new school year!!
