Branding
The Penlet allows you to travel around with your pen wherever
This project was a fun project that got me to think outside of the box.
100 Ideas
I brainstormed 100 ideas about anything that related to pens. I had some ideas such as "The XYZ Pen", "Movement Pen", "Camera Pen", and many more. I decided to do the "Bracelet Pen", a bracelet that holds your pen.
1 Prototype
I started prototyping the bracelet pen in Rhino and 3D printed it. It turned out a bit small, but it was a good size for kids. When I tried out the bracelet. it was a bit awkward because the pen was either sticking out from the hand or lying inside the sleeve.
During the iteration of the second design, I enhanced the bracelet's size, altered the positioning of the pen within the bracelet, and incorporated spaces for magnets to ensure the pen's stability inside the bracelet.
Process
After printing out the bracelet, I sanded it and spray-painted it in a silver metallic colour. I also added small magnets to the bracelet and to the pen. This allowed the pen to stick to the bracelet.
Creating a Brand
I started making a logo, I wanted to have it fun and playful, I also wanted to add a pen to it and I'm very happy with the outcome.
Logo
I wanted to make the logo represent the Penlet a bit more so I added the shape around the logo and made the pen longer.
Mockups
I tried mocking up the Penlet with 3 brands; "Macy's", "AT&T", and "TikTok"

I learned a lot doing this project, I got a bit of practice in prototyping and I learned how to create logos and how to create mockups.
