eWriter / eReader design

The eWriter (name yet to be finalized) is a concept by Mischa Bertrand-Chetty. He's a local Calgarian with an entrepreneurial side who wants to develop the writer/reader and get into the notebook game. He provided me the specs and I began with sketching and finding various influences that could make this stand out. I suggested we go for a more vintage or classical look as opposed to the typical plastic laptop appearance. Old leather notebooks and journals came to mind and became the inspiration. It has a quality feel that should make it stand out in a crowded market.
