Moleskine Colour a Month Daily Planner and Desk Calendar

November 28, 2009 by Parka

First of all, special thanks to Chronicle Books for sending me these Moleskine products. They are the official US distributor for Moleskine products. By the way, they have an interesting Chronicle Books Blog which I follow.

Here's the Moleskine Desk Calendar 2010.

It's a daily calendar and you can make prop it up with the elastic band as shown above. The pages are detachable, of course. The band can last a year, or so from other reviews I've read.

It comes with a pocket on the cover for you to throw stuff in.

Below's a video of the desk calendar.

This is the Colour a Month Daily Planner, which consist of 12 separate planners, one for each month. Each month comes with a different colour which starts out pretty cool except they get pretty dark get towards the end of the year. There are little stickers with months provided, supposedly to stick onto the planners.

The planner is pocket sized designed to be taken around.

Each day has 20 lines to write on. Also included inside are daily and monthly calendars for 2010 and 2011, holiday dates for selected countries and typical conversion tables you'll find in a travel planner.

I'm not sure of the practicality as a planner. Like how's one going to plan events that's going to happen next month? It's probably more useful as a record journal rather than planner.

There are lots of reviews on Amazon already and it seems pretty popular.

Below's a cool video of the daily planner.

I'm a monthly-desk-calendar rather than a daily-desk-calendar kind of guy. So these two products don't really suit me. However, I'm more interested in their plain notebooks, which a lot of artists and hobbyist use to create art. My next review will be on the notebooks, where I'll subject the notebook to the artists' arsenal of pens.
