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.

    Since I was the second submission in this stage. I have been cooking for a while. I thought why not make a campaign video for my design ?
    So I did.
    I produced the music (yes, it is custom made). And then proceeded to edit and create the video. Enjoy and remember…

    VOTE FOR THE PHOSPHORESCENT TWO-FACE EDITION BOX.

      While I strongly believe you will win the package design, this early stage 4 concept is a bit towards the wrong direction. While your design is based on two face, it is better to NOT to have anything related to it in the marketing materials. The narrative should be towards co-creation as a community, I believe. Not judging or being negative or anything, just some clarity that will help you and maybe other people to ideate something really cool. Me myself, I will be participating in stage 4. So lets create something cool.

      p.s. got some of my friends to vote on your entry.
