This research exercise is more about considering the ranges than the actual product design. I wanted to look at some of the ranges by companies most well known for their stationery products, and see how many things you can create out of what design, to push me further to think about what I can create for my collection. I was quite surprised just how many products Paperchase got from one design.

This has made me think about how much I can actually do with the designs I create. I want to push every brief further, so covering lots of ranges (and still trying to keep it relevant to the internet theme) could be what I do with this brief. I'm sure I'll keep looking back at Paperchase's ranges when considering sizes, planning prices etc.
