DESCRIPTION
We are living in a digital world and yet ... we noticed that people still like to write or sketch. In different meetings we saw a lot of people using notebooks, notepads and even sheets of paper. The idea of creating a notebook/sketchbook was rapidly found. Not just an ordinary one (read: cheap) but a durable book with a nice design, high smooth quality paper ... and with an online interactivity (huh?) Yes, we want people to compose their own sketchbook online: choosing colours, choosing a grid (lines, squares, pixels, ...) and order just 1 piece. That's the main idea. In november 2012 we are starting with our McGid-Corporate, a tailor-made book that companies can order from 50 pcs. In the near future we're launching the McGrid-Individual.

How did it start?It’s one year ago when we decided to develop some new business to combine with our graphic design activities.It is the right time to set up an e-commerce business in Belgium: webshops are becoming more popular, tablets and smartphones are selling very good, social media is hot. Internet is all around us ...
Now what? Let’s invent a product? Yeah right ...
