Work Process

Concept

The opening piece for the Motion Media Design showcase uses 12 unique icons to symbolize different stages of creative exploration.

In Research Mode, the icons gather together, representing the collection of inspiration and materials.

In Play Mode, they are deconstructed in bold and playful ways, highlighting experimentation.

Finally, all the icons merge to form the KINETIK logo, showing how creative exploration transforms into powerful visual expression.
