The Friendship Bracelet of the Future
OBJECTIVE: Build a line from scratch, establish a printing system to highlight a new technology, and design a collection considering light and positive and negative space.
DESIGN: A funky crowd-funded smart bracelet intended for the music scene. The lights can coordinate with the music you are listening to, illuminates when friends are nearby, and indicates when someone contacts you on your phone. The moniker “friendship bracelet of the future” served as print inspiration with unique linear prints highlighting the LED-light displays. Printing methods were tested out on the 3-D tiles to create a formula for layering color to allow light to shine through dedicated areas in fun patterns.
