Amplify, Design for Music Challenge

Music is a powerful brief for design. With Amplify you will choose an artist you admire and let their sound, story and audience inspire a creative response. You can approach it visually, spatially, through styling, or as a product concept that improves the live experience. The official brief at launch will outline the paths you can take and how to present your idea, but the heart of the challenge is simple, use music to drive your design thinking and show us what you can create. We run this challenge to discover new voices, to attract talent that is curious and driven, and to give you a platform where your creativity can be seen. It is also a fun way to work from something everybody connects with, then translate that energy into a clear concept with presence and purpose.
