Open folders like that tend to get abused and can make it hard to search for stuff afterwards. I hesitantly set up a “Misc” notebook as a catchall to hold anything that didn’t fit in any of the other categories. I also have notebooks set up for Illustration, Tutorials, Web and Technology, Typography, Quotes, and Photography. I was originally going to call it “Graphic Design”, but I felt that graphic design was a bit too limiting as my interest in design also leans towards product design as well.


I tried to keep the different notebooks as different in subject matter as I could to avoid as much overlap as I could. I first setup a whole bunch of different notebooks I could move everything to. In my last post I’d mentioned that I would describe the way I managed to get my swipe file organized. This is my follow up to my Evernote as ultimate graphic design swipe file.
