Nice project, as always!
The best ideas always come just an hour after the deadline, am I right? My design focuses on Transparency, Anticipation and Tactile Sense and I have just found out that there is a bioplastic called cellulose acetate, it is biodegradable, transparent and probably tears easier than regular plastic.

Regardless, I am happy with what I came up with and it’s super interesting to see all of the different submissions in the gallery. We have at least 3 lenticular designs! : )

Feel free to support my proposal here, when it’s time to vote!

EthanDowling 😍 Thanks Ethan!
edit: I was also thinking redesigning the back label with a transparent sticker to look like a phone home screen, with the infos in widgets style & more, but that was not in the brief and each market might have a different one…

    Ealesy101 thank you for the kind words! i had to sacrifice presentation to get it in on time and now finally i saw my designs in the gallery!

    I’m glad you noticed the details and liked my idea. indeed, the competition will be tough. good luck to you as well!

      Wow, I just checked latest submissions and are really cool. Congratulations everybody, may the best win!

      Rob ⚡️ it was really fun working on this project. Astrid and Kenta’s vision really pushed the boundaries. To my surprise Astrid and I actually went to the same design school and the relevance was quite visible in their design process

          Genuine question. Why did so many people wait right till the very last day to submit ? I saw the submissions on Friday morning and it was like 17. Checking now it is 65.

          I guess that’s because the last entries will be shown on top. Oh the psychology of recency bias.

          With all that being said I went through the final list.

          My top two favourites are Ian_H_Simmonds

          Simple, efficient and attractive designs. Not trying to take away the attention from the actual product. Feasible and economical. What’s not to love ?

          Of course my word is not law. I wish everyone who participated a best of luck. Just sharing my thoughts.

          Edit : Just wanna this - the amount of designs that have been inspired by Rahil’s and @Roman1 is absurd. Like you can literally figure it out for yourself. So many ideas just imitated without actual thought process. Roman was the first to incorporate the wallpaper on the back and just count how many have done the same. Reminds me of the meme - “Copy my homework, just change it up a little bit”

                stealth not necessarily latest submissions will show on top. I am working on an unofficial Nothing community app and I realized that the entry list will eventually shuffle during voting days, @Rob ⚡️ may confirm this.

                I think that submission days are way too many, I would prefer 2 weeks to work on the submissions and 3 to 5 days to submit.

                    Mirko_ddd Oh that’s a good thing. I didn’t know they shuffle the entry during voting. I joined the community only recently due to the CMF phone 1 announcement. So this is like the first time I will be voting and having that experience of this community project.

                    I think the submission time was quite appropriate. I feel like people held their submissions in fear their ideas will be taken or implemented in some other way. I think that is pretty evident from the way some submissions have been inspired by the early ones.

                        stealth I think that reducing the submissions time would reduce the probability to “copy” others work (if there’s a chance, I am not telling anybody is copying anyone). But at least we can avoid checking repeatedly the submissions and find anything new until the end 😜

                          Hello I’m Umang, an Industrial Designer based in UK and India. This community really brings out the competitive energy and it was the very reason behind my motivation to participate. The theme of the phone’s design and wallpaper so distinctively represent Nothing’s DNA, it sort of brings out the fun element back to technology.

                          My inspiration was heavily derived from my childhood space fantasies and the urge to belong to a community. I couldn’t help but feel nostalgic of the glow in the dark stars and moon stickers on our walls. Usually it consoles a kid at night to not be scared, but fun at the same time. I just felt like bringing the same connection to the packaging concept. Since Nothing is heavily driven by its community, a message that reminds us of being a part of this community is hidden as a glow at night component in the packaging. Not entirely revealing of the Phone’s feature to do the same but a cue and a souvenir. The poster/sticker can be used anywhere from a wallpaper on your work desk, a sticker on the back of your laptop or even on your bedroom wall. I’d really appreciate if you have a look at my submission in the link below.

                          Also Congratulations to the winners of the Stage 1 @Kenta @Astrid and stage 2 Andrés Mateos.

                          Ian_H_Simmonds You deserve it. I wish you win this stage and I hope the win helps you land some big freelance client projects as you were mentioning.

                            Dear stealth If all entries are hold without being made public, and then published simultaneously, similar and common entries will occur.

                            Hi Ian_H_Simmonds Your creative is great and detailed, standing out prominently. Nothing 2a says ‘fresh eye’, but I say yours ‘finest eye’. I didn’t know if you noticed that eye hidden somewhere in the Stage 3 poster image. Best of luck.. Seriously I liked your creativity.

                                  chandrasekaran_k I think you didn’t check the submission gallery. All 65 entries were not made live on the last day. They were getting added as they were being uploaded and approved. So no, the chance of a later submission taking inspiration from the early ones was always present.

                                    Fractal Thank you! I was thinking about how to best reveal the lenticular effect, and I’m glad my intentions were well communicated.
