Product launch is tomorrow, but everything's on fire 🔥

During client work, it's inevitable that friction happens when passion gets involved. Roll the dice to generate a new response on the fly.

Includes fun phrases:

Am I a doormat
Any more complaints
Make it smaller
How long is it going to take
Make it like a game
Too much white space
Bang for Buck Win
It sells itself

It sells itself
Who did this
I’ll know when I see it
Everyone’s a designer
It’s EASY
It’s a temporary fix
Are you on Wifi?
It shouldn’t take long

Can’t reproduce
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature
It works on my machine
I already fixed that
Did you restart?
That’s a 1 Liner
Sounds like a nice hack
Everything’s *possible*

Process

Due to the small quantity, the color options were only white with color filled engraving. The text quality was the most important requirement for this project, so that it won't rub off after long uses.

"Pocket Designer & Developer" was recreated as a large-format stamp. To create a raised gold-lettered box, I embossed the logo onto boxes.
