You may not realize it yet, but that belly band holds a world of wonders. The Industrial Design Society of America went all out with a three-pack of custom interior Scout Books, complete with a pull out section! They were created by Ziba for an IDSA “cross-craft” discussion about DIY design held right here in Portland, Oregon. The three-pack consists of one part sweet Portland city guide, one part informative conference/symposium particulars, and one part handy, blank sketchbook. I highly suggest you check out the other photos of this gem right after the jump!

Who doesn’t love Mirco photography? Beautiful. But I’ve been reading about Ziba stance on this topic, one of the articles can be found here: http://www.monocle.com/monocolumn/2010/08/07/diy-and-the-death-of-design/ I’m glad to see such a powerhouse as Ziba passionately state and getting themselves involved with the local DIY environment and community.
These look fantastic! I esp love the pullout section. Leave it to IDSA to push the boundaries of the Scout Book and inspire us all. :)
