Submissions for the Nothing Phone (2a) Community Edition are now open (no need to be a Photoshop ace)،
If you consider the Nothing Phone (2a) perfect, but consider yourself a person capable of perfecting what is already perfect, you can now give it a try.
Submissions for the Nothing Phone Community Edition (2a) are now open. As we reported, the Carl Pei brand wants to involve the community and let fans design a special edition of the Nothing Phone (2a). The winning design will be put into production.
This process will span six months, during which the community is invited to submit their ideas and vote for their favorite designs. The project is divided into four phases, allowing participants to engage in areas that match their abilities. Whether it's designing the hardware, creating wallpapers, deciding on the phone's packaging, or orchestrating the marketing campaign, everyone has a role to play. The four steps:
- Step 1 – Hardware Design (The step we are currently at): Put your unique touch on the phone design (2a). The winner of this stage will have the chance to work directly with Nothing's industrial design team.
- Step 2 – Wallpaper Design (May): Take the winning design from Step 1 and create wallpapers that complement that material design. The winning wallpaper collection will be included in the final product.
- Step 3 – Packaging Design (June): Imagine a special unboxing experience. This design must take into consideration the winning designs from steps 1 and 2.
- Step 4 – Marketing Campaign (July): Develop a knockout marketing plan for launch. The winner of this stage will work with the brand and Nothing's creative team to develop the perfect campaign for the phone's launch.
In each phase, the community will first vote on submissions, followed by evaluations from Nothing's internal judges. The winners of each stage will be invited to Nothing's headquarters in London to attend the culminating launch event later in the year. Detailed updates, participation rules and guidelines will be provided at each stage via the Nothing Community page. “You don't need Photoshop – you can submit your concept in any form: a video, a sketch, a rendering, inspirational images, anything! ” said the Nothing team when a fan expressed concern that he's not very good at designing stuff on a computer.
