Brief Explanation

To remind people, especially the younger generation, that the power of creativity comes from the freedom and inspiration of pencil sketching.

The Brief

More and more, the younger generation has succumbed to the convenience of digital technology and replaced the classic technique of pencil sketching with digital sketch pads. STAEDTLER, the world-renowned sketching pencil believes that inspiration derived from pencil sketching can never be replaced by any digital means. STAEDTLER intends to revive the memory in people of where designs originally begin - A sketch pencil.

How the final design was conceived

Using classic design icons in various categories, we show how these classic designs were born from pencil sketches by magnifying and crafting STAEDTLER's pencil tip graphite into microscopic miniatures of these icons. All these designs were born long before computer drawings were invented.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

The designs successfully grasped the attention of professionals and design students. They showed preference in using pencil sketching against digital pads, as well as the brand.
