I recently suggested a mousepad giveaway for WCEU, as I’m a strong proponent of functional merchandise. While stickers and buttons are nice, I often wonder what people are expected to do with them. I prefer products that are both useful and serve as a constant reminder of the company they originated from.
With this concept in mind, I created the following design. The code was conceived by my friend Claude, an AI, and the design work was executed using the Carbon app. I’m quite pleased with how it turned out. Although I won’t be distributing these mousepads at any events, I did order a sample for my own desk.
