Duraweld: Smart Presentation

Stationery you can graffiti

The new natural board ring binders from the Feelin’ Green range on the Duraweld website are not only recycled and biodegradable but are just crying out to be covered in graffiti!

We all do it; doodle while someone else is talking to us.  These new ring binders from Duraweld are perfect for the avid doodler. Kids love them!

What does your doodle say about you?
We tend to doodle when we are stressed or bored – often revealing what we cannot say out loud. Take a look at your scribbles and use our simple guide to interpret your inner thoughts.

ARROWS
A determined person with a specific goal in mind will draw arrows, subconsciously ‘aiming’ at his or her ‘target’.
• If the arrow is sharp and angular, the target probably is something important — perhaps a person who needs to be confronted or a job that needs to be applied for.
• If it is more fluid — and decorated — it’s likely to be the target is an affair of the heart or something the doodler feels passionate about.

CHESS BOARD
The black and white chequerboard doodle suggests patience and persistence. Perhaps you are weighing-up various options regarding a tricky situation? Randomly, it is also the favourite doodle of people who are prone to mood swings.

FACES
The expression on a doodled face is often a direct indication of your mood.
• Pretty faces suggest you see the good in others
• Weird or ugly faces, you are sensing mistrust
• Comic faces show a desire to be the centre of attention
• Child-like doodles reflect your neediness
• Profiles indicate you’re an introvert

FLOWERS
Soft, rounded petals around a circular flower centre suggest an amiable, family-centric person. If the centre of your flower is a circle, but your petals are pointy, you are probably hiding a warm heart behind a prickly defensiveness. If you doodle a bunch of perky-looking flowers you are likely to be sociable. Drooping flower heads, on the other hand, indicate you’re burdened by worry. Flowers with round petals suggest an amicable person while hearts mean you’re in love.

HEARTS
Obviously a romantic doodle. Drawing a heart indicates you’re in love with love.

HOUSE
This common doodle indicates a need for security. A neat drawing of a house suggests a secure home life, a more messy-looking sketch (especially one without windows) indicates unhappiness with your home life.
A house pictured on its own on top  of a hill suggests you’re feeling isolated and lonely.

INTRICATE PATTERNS
Busy, highly-detailed doodles are often drawn by people with an obsessive nature, who simply will not let go of their ambitions or loved ones. This type of drawing is often a favourite with extreme introverts.

NAMES OR INITIALS
• Doodling your name or initials is common for those who enjoy being the centre of attention.
• Teenagers often doodle just their first name or the initial of their Christian name, indicating a desire to break away from the family and do their own thing.
• Doodling someone else’s name, on the other hand, shows they are in your thoughts — perhaps romantically or because they are a presenting a problem you need to deal with

STAIRS OR LADDER
Symbols of ambition and a willingness to work your way methodically ‘up the ladder’ in life, drawings of stairs and ladders also often indicate you have an important, long-term task in hand. They can represent a spiritual quest, too, perhaps a desire to be happier or more relaxed.

SPIDER’S WEB
This can symbolise a feeling of being trapped — or the desire to entice someone into a particular relationship or situation.

STARS
Stars are often drawn by ambitious people.
• Lots of little stars indicate optimism
• One big, bold, embellished star, you’ve got a definite goal in your sights
• Neat, uniform stars suggest good mental focus
• Freestyle, asymmetric stars show an energetic personality

STICK FIGURE
Commonly doodled by highly successful people, the simple stick figure reveals someone who is in control of their emotions and incredibly focused on their goals in life.

SQUARES OR BOXES
Drawing a square indicates you want control of a situation — that you are thinking through a problem.
If your squares progress to a cube or box, you’re likely to be a very efficient, analytical person who can deal with difficult situations with little fuss.

TRANSPORT
Doodling any form of transport often indicates a desire to escape from a situation

ZIGZAGS
Just as patterns made up of soft, flowing, curvy lines suggest a romantic, female approach to things, patterns made up of lots of straight lines, indicate more aggressive masculine characteristics.
Zigzags are a particularly common doodle and show energetic thinking and a desire to get on with things.
