Naming, designing, and branding a weekly planner and surrounding peripherals.

Research:

I began my research by looking at layouts of planners. I settled on a weekly planner with a note section. Each spread would contain one week and a dedicated area for any ideas or notes I have that week. The goal of this planner is to replace using my notes app for jotting down random thoughts and important dates.

Identity:

Tandem represents the organization of multiple events and ideas being placed neatly together. The definition of tandem is “working or occurring in conjunction with each other,” and that’s what I hope to achieve with this planner. A place to organize my thoughts and actions into one central location. The logomark represents the many ideas swirling around in my head being arranged neatly and creating a quiet, calm, peaceful mind.

System Definition:

The system of thin, swirly forms becoming solid, sturdy forms are consistent throughout the planner. I chose a reserved palate of black and white to act as a clean slate to write onto, and intentionally chose to use a colored pen to draw attention to my tasks at hand and create a heirarchy of importance.

Creation:

I experimented with grids, layouts, relation between calendar and note area, negative space, the heirarchy within planners and what space is most valuable to me. I discovered that the definition of tandem can be fragmented still have the same meaning.
