Bose is a brand known for clean lines, simplicity, and design that’s made for life. Our key design objective was to ensure that product design philosophy was clearly represented in our work.
We were tasked to communicate the efficacy of Bose Noise-Cancelling Headphones in blocking out noise.
In designing our posters, we combined graphic design and photography to bring alive Bose’s philosophy on design and life. We altered the graphic symbol of a volume bar by replacing the bars with scenes from everyday life. The final designs are photographs of real-life volume bars that communicate the key feature of the product – noise reduction. With photography, we also employed a minimalist style to complement the graphic design approach.
Post-campaign research indicated sales increased by 3.7%. The campaign has also been featured on many design blogs, sites and feeds.
