I did what I had to do… flo_rahil

I was conflicted for a minute. But honestly it was right there.

Your design is just… It’s crazy attractive. Like If I had no clue what this phone was and I saw this on a shelf, I would ask the store guy what phone that is.

Great product design is more than just aesthetics - it’s about telling a compelling story and you have achieved that! The consistency and uniqueness of the design of your box, matching all the other previous phone 2a boxes but still standing out with its sleek dual look, make it easily identifiable and attention-grabbing. Not choosing this design would be a huge missed opportunity, as the design team would likely regret not going with the twoface option. This design also aligns perfectly with Nothing’s philosophy of “Making tech fun again”.

I also really appreciated the video, It adds a layer of personality. Fractal , very valid points - but I believe blud was just bored and saw this as a chance to showcase his musical and editing skills, and I’m all for it. We don’t even know the stage 4 brief. So I am 100% sure this was not intended for that.

And Rahil, if you’re a singer, I would love to hear some samples. It would be great to see another talent of yours!

Because the voting has started, I would like to recommend some suggestions for voting, considering that this thread’s replies talk about so very few. I’m in no way associated with the people/teams I’m going to write about and I didn’t submit anything for this stage.

With that out of the way, a solid design that stood out to me among the others would be Martin’s. Its texture looks like something taken straight out of a comic book, with a young and energetic design that makes you hyped for the phone just by looking at the package. The green is so brightly neon that it grabs the buyer’s attention immediately, while, to me, also looks like it’s hinting towards the glow (in the dark) gimmick of the phone.

At the polar opposite is the mature and refined design created by Ian. The big eye in the middle of the box grabs the buyer by their soul and pulls them into a dimension they never dared to explore, zooming past generic competing brands and landing them smack-dab in the middle of a planet of technological wonder. At least, that’s what the design inspires, a brand that offers courage to its buyers to try something unprecedented.

Another great entry is Vivek’s mysterious design. The main layer of the package looks like it’s merely showcasing the color of the phone that the buyer is about to purchase. However, the two strategically placed circles on the second layer surround the box in this mystical aura, making the buyer wonder what secrets the phone is hiding. The glass effect added on top of the circles not only goes hand in hand with Nothing’s aesthetic, but also makes me feel like I’m looking at something I’m not supposed to see yet.

I would like to conclude by adding that people should not consider things like “financial feasibility” or what the point of a box should or shouldn’t be when voting, because neither are we Nothing’s corporate cost assessment team, nor should we focus solely on traditional design concepts. We are a community of passionate people who are here to vote on entries that we believe look cool, while inspiring designers to create anything that races through their minds. If you want to vote for glow-in-the-dark boxes, transparent plastic boxes, boxes made out of weird organisms, thermochromic paint boxes or anything else, by all means do so.

Louis Yeah it will be a lot of fun, and I think it will also help the user understand the product! Thank you

RaduBratan You have made some wonderful points there. Design is kinda like art and that makes it very subjective, not everyone will like the same thing. Best you can do is make something that you like and put it out in the world and hopefully that resonates with others.

I appreciate your vote for me stealth.

Regarding my music, yeah you can listen to it on Spotify or Apple music.

My concept is that packaging would be ghosted like ghosted phone’s pattern in night. And the quality would be like main phone 2a. Please vote me if your concept is this.

mei lol, brilliant, I liked the Instagram story

Mirko_ddd thank you!

flo_rahil I love this bro, I checked it out ! Not my type of music but I can appreciate the talent present here. The lyrics are fantastic in “This Too Shall Pass” and “The Silence”. And the vocals all around are really soothing. You can really wear many hats. Keep at it bro, you never know. Music artists are getting viral out of trash vulgar songs and your music is leagues better. Just keep polishing your craft and keep moving forward. Best wishes!

Reveland You have my Vote
