A New Product A Day: February 2013

Welcome! This page collects all the products I’m designing as part of a one-month challenge to myself: making one new product a day for the Groundhog Day Resolutions period of February 2nd to March 3rd. If you’re curious why I’m doing this, the post A February Full of Promises goes into the backstory.

Some of the downloadable designs will be available for free download for only a short time, so I encourage you to grab them now. If you have a suggestion, feel free to leave a comment. Thanks, and enjoy browsing!

The Products

Feb 02: Groundhog Day Resolutions PrimerA single-sheet primer for how to follow Groundhog Day Resolutions.


Horizontal Strip Calendar 2013A print-and-cut horizontal strip calendar template.


Mini-ETP US TemplateA new version of the US half-size black-and-white Mini ETP. This is the first step in producing A4 and color variations for digital downloads and a printed version.


Mini-ETP A5 TemplateThe A5-sized version of the black-and-white Mini ETP. The second step toward digital download and printed versions!


Mini-ETP Digital DownloadsFor sale on Gumroad: color and black-and-white, with 2013 year and without, 3 kinds of templates, and both A5 and US Half Letter in one $7 package.


Printed A5 JournalA print-ready design candidate, sent to my local full-service printer, Papergraphics, to start the costing process for potential production.


Weekend CalendarA calendar that highlights all the weekends and fades-out the weekdays. Maybe it’s useful to someone!


Operating Principle CardsEight of my “operating principles” on an 8-UP business card template, to remind myself of important beliefs that make me who I am.


Almanac UpdateAdded the half-size versions of the ETP to the 365-Day ETP Almanac download, available for $7.

Word Counting Calendar March 2013A daily word-counting calendar, based on my NaNoWriMo 2012 calendar design.

Digital SLR Basic Manual SettingsA 4×6″ reference card for understanding how to use your DSLR camera settings, without using “F-STOP” anywhere in the writing.


Revisions to Digital SLR Basic PrimerI’m tired and busy, so this product of the day is the revisions I made to it based on Sid’s feedback. This is the first time feedback was incorporated into a POTD, so that counts as something new (at least for me :)


Swag! Mugs for davidseah.comKickin’ it old-school swag-style with custom “explore-learn-build-share” mugs from Zazzle and Printfection.


Sponsored DownloadsBeginning an experimental search for sponsorship partners to put small advertisements on the free download forms.

Emergent Task Planner NotebookHalf-sized ETP notebooks prototypes inch closer to production. Take the survey and let me know what you’re looking for.


Creative Motivational PostersAn art exercise, turned into a poster product!


Interval Madness Graph PaperIt came to me in a dream, graph paper with a magical pattern that somehow would bring about different ideas. In practice I think I missed the mark, but it’s an interesting idea.


Index Card Docks Production RunA physical product, a run of 12 index card blocks at the very beginning of their artisanal journey.


Thus concludes the 30 days of new products! Thanks for following!
