Tech Incorporation
This was a 6 week collaborative project with brands we hadn’t worked with before. Day-Timer is an older brand with a traditionally older consumer. In order to try and attract a younger consumer, they’re looking to create new products which incorporate or accommodate technology. At-A-Glance is a more relevant brand of planners and journals, this brand is a good early adopter of the product concept as well.
Crawl
Concepts that could be moved forward with the pressure of the 6 week timeline.

Concepts that need more support from engineering and sourcing.
Run
Concepts that were too out of scope and would need more time and development.
