Packaging needed to be easily updated for changes in features, barcode, or new rating requirements. Packaging also needed to include 3 languages, which was a first for any of iDevices’ packaging.

Results: One of the most successful booth designs we’ve had in terms of creative design and functionality for the sales team. With a tangible product display table and interactive demos, the booth delivered on user interactivity and curiosity. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5df187c4baa32f2a1cb578cc/5fdca45fcf5edb70e29efe6a/5fdca541e4f40f70186466f9/1608296130874/iDevices-Product-Brochure_4-up.jpg Portfolio - Pro Product Guide Goal: Design a printed brochure to be distributed at different industry trade shows, builder show rooms and buyer presentations that told the story of a smart home lifestyle & highlighted the differentiators of the iDevices product line.
