The Field Notes 32nd Quarterly Edition for Fall, 2016 is a perfect example of an idea that started simply and then got a bit out of hand. Okay, maybe more than a bit. Originally, the basic concept was to do a 3-Pack of Memo Books celebrating the Harvest Moon. Then somebody asked, “What about highlighting the phases of the Moon?†Somebody else said “DIE-CUT!†which was followed quickly by a chorus of “Matte Varnish!†“Embossing!†and “Let’s make sure that people know how to avoid becoming a werewolf.â€
