Vance Reeser makes animated films, creates images, crafts websites, and writes a blog. He so expertly filled up this Scout Book with some amazing character sketches–and a collage treat at the end. Not to mention the first time we've ever seen the Scout Book used as a mask! Bravo, bravo Vance! Great innovation. Great sketches.
Find Vance's work here, on his website. One project we're particularly intrigued by is a short animated film Vance is creating called the Beast of Black Lake. He used Kickstarter to fund the project but is still accepting backers to help propel the project towards completion.
We're pretty sure we'll be seeing loads of great stuff from Vance in the near future.
This was also one of my entries in the competitions [for Amateur Design]. This cupcake was a vanilla butter cake, topped with a Swiss meringue salted caramel (caramel a la fleur de sel) buttercream and decorated with a fresh rosebud.
I chose this name because it was a white cake, the caramel buttercream was light and more-ish, and I thought it looked very pretty with its delicate rosebud nestled in the piped rosettes. Like an angel's kiss... except this one had a caramel perfume!
MDP Bassworks specializes in the repair, restoration and custom builds of Double Basses. These Scout Book notebooks were made as promotional items complete with MDP's info on the back. Black ink on chipboard always looks good!
Formerly known as Polychrome San Francisco, Standard Studio has launched its new identity and website, and included in the new launch is this fantastic Scout Book.
Standard is a small firm whose members share a common point of view and a common inspiration in utilitarian design. This Scout Book is the culmination of all these things. It was inspired by an old WWII canvas bag with the words “bag for inserting dies and No. 4 grommets” on the front which they kindly provided a photo of.
Standard loved the idea of applying the same approach to their books, thus the copy on their Scout Book. The word is that the books have already been a big hit.
Jesse Hora is an art director, an illustrator and an Michigan native. He filled these Scout Books with fun, funky sketches and smart illustrations. A super sweet ongoing illustration project of his is Athlete Objects, in which he creates his interpretations of 1980s and 1990s athletes based off of their names, his childhood memories, and their Wikipedia entries. Pretty fresh!

Junichi Tsuneoka is Stubborn Sideburn, a Seattle-based character designer and illustrator who created this awesome Make Your Own Scout Book. What got us excited is that he really understands the power of a pocket-perfect notebook! Sweet, typographically strong tidbits such as"Free your mind blank pages" and "A small book for big ideas" make us really excited. Oh! And don't forget about "Big ideas can fit in your pocket." We agree.
Heart Roasters is a new craft roaster located on East Burnside in Portland. They recently printed two styles of cards: one for drinks and the other for coffee beans. Awesome!
This great Scout Book project comes to us from the people over at Aha! agency in celebration of their fourth anniversary. Located in Austin, TX, they specialize in branding + fresh perspectives and wanted to give their clients, friends, and fans a special kind of thank-you for their support. I think this Scout Book is perfect for the job! Printed in orange and brown, complete with a belly band (you know we love a good belly band) and custom interiors – turning four in 2010 never looked better!

My Caramel Vanilla Kiss cupcake being evaluated by the judges for the Amateur Best Design category - nope, didn't win this time!

Cap height, ascender, bowl, serif, baseline: there are a lot of things to keep track of when designing letterforms! The Type Sketcher trio of pocket notebooks helps you stay on track as you design. This set features one book for uppercase, one book for lowercase, and one book for numerals, punctuation and symbols. Each book comes with a brief but informative guide to the basics of type design that serve as gentle guides for beginners and helpful reminders for seasoned type designers.
This trio of pocket tools was developed in partnership with Ian Lynam, in hopes that type designers everywhere keep sketching!
Eden Papineau is a graphic and web designer from Virginia Beach, VA. We had the pleasure of helping to create these distinctive Scout Books complete with Eden's personal identity. They turned out great as you can see.
Hooray Eden! Hooray Scout Books, you've done it again!
Nicholas is silkscreening wooden signs for Stumptown Coffee! Here is his progress as far as the first color.
Jam band, anyone?
The prolific band Phish used the Scout Books during their North American tour last summer as swag for their fans–ahem, PHANS. With strikingly bold typography, these notebooks lay out a few Phish lyrics.
Rad!
Will Bryant is a graphic designer and illustrator extraordinaire! Based in Austin, Texas, Will makes things because he gets sad if he doesn't. His work is playful, fun, and always bright. He filled up a DIY Scout Book (Cover included!) in ONE DAY. Seriously. One day. A study in patterns. Sweet!

These Portland Bingo Cards come to us from the super-talented Bishop Lennon and Amy Ruppel. Every city should have Bingo cards; however, I think most Portlanders would agree that none would be as awesome as these. I can just imagine loading up a car full of people to go driving around, shouting out all the Portland-y things you find while everyone hangs their flailing limbs out of the rolled-down windows. Thanks to Amy Ruppel for providing the great photos you see here. The cards turned out fantastic!
These pocket notebooks were created by Pilot to be used as giveaways and note taking tools for a workshop they held with a client. Pilot's plan is to create a series of Scout Books – one for each workshop as they continue to hold them. The bold illustration style used on this Scout Book translates really well on the chipboard.
