The Story
An ode to a bold bygone era, The Chicago Look is Field Notes' 66th Quarterly Edition, tipping its cap to the golden age of mid-century American signage. Inspired by the Beverly Sign Co.’s unmistakable visual language, this limited-edition set captures the punchy palette, confident composition, and the cheeky charm of old-school commercial art. With covers that mimic original pencil sketches — complete with diagonal strike-thrus — and interior pages ruled in non-repro blue, these note books are both tribute and tool. Perfect for pencilling ideas or doodling daydreams.
Features:
- Authentic Vintage Design: Cover illustrations by Heart & Bone Signs and Bob Behounek, echoing mid-century sign-painting mock-ups.
- New Larger Size: A roomier 6" × 8" format with 64 graph-ruled pages for sketching or scheming.
- Graph in Non-Repro Blue: Pages feature a grid in a shade beloved by graphic artists — clever, clean, and easily edited out.
- Limited Edition Keepsake: Only 25,000 two-packs produced, each proudly printed in the U.S.A.
