Seam was a collaborative project created with my peers in my final year of my Bachelor of Design Degree. Seam provided the tools to initiate those first steps to being less dependant on technology. Our products aimed to motivate and increase productivity through engagement with pen and paper; allowing for creativity to flourish. The visual identity featured a deep red which provided a pop of colour among a relatively minimal colour scheme. The product design was intended to be heavily interactive and allowed room for the user to make the products their own.
