Project Type: Junior Studio, Group
Date: October, 2024
Project Brief:
As a group, we were tasked with creating a series of products catering to the readers of a magazine. We were assigned Azure Magazine, a contemporary design and architecture magazine based in Toronto. Within this magazine, we had to develop a consumer profile, design a brand, and a series of products for that brand.
The Vivid Air Light is one of three final products of a group project that analyzed AZURE Magazine's branding and language to develop a line of camping equipment for magazine readers. It is a 100% wireless, solar-powered lantern that collapses to the size of a hockey puck. Its contemporary design makes it stand out while maintaining a clean look and feel.
Research
AZURE Magazine, based in Toronto, Ontario, focuses on contemporary design, innovation, and current technology. In the 40 years since its first publication, it has become a staple for design professionals across North America. The magazine consistently shares products and designs with repetition, geometric forms, simple colors, and exposed metal details.
