1) The designers were tasked with developing distinct credit card lines for three demographic segments of a bank's customers: "the mass", "the affluent", and "the affluent plus".
2) They first explored subject matters relevant to each segment such as fashion, shopping, and color palettes to develop design concepts.
3) The concepts were then used to create a range of final targeted credit card designs for each segment, with premium effects and materials used for the highest segment's cards.
2. That was the task given to our designers by Raiffeisenbank in 2012.

distinct lines of credit cards for the
same bank, which reflect bank
customer demographic segments?
