THE PEOPLE AND THE PERSPECTIVES

The people.
The thinking.

Who made the work, what they were trying to achieve and which decisions shaped it. Start with the credited team, then read their published accounts. Direct responses to Brand Recall will be identified separately.

THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THE WORK

Project credits.

Named people, roles and the source of each credit. A published credit is separate from a response to Brand Recall.

Smith & Diction / AGENCY PROFILE ↗

The organising idea is making space. Smith & Diction uses an asymmetrical ripple, connected lettering, a shared icon grammar, time block patterns and a calmer blue world to give Calendly one system for a growing meeting platform.
