    paper Carbon

    Carbon is the virtual music festival that unifies people with a shared passion for music. The loss of social human interaction through the pandemic created the need to explore and design new ways of connecting people digitally.

    The process of creating the platform was split into two stages: designing the identity and also the functionality of the platform. The aim of the identity was to design the platform with assertiveness by using the logo as an energetic fast paced animation. The functionality was influenced by connecting users all around the world by zoom calls and messages, while watching a live set. Giving users the option to revisit their profile, browse live DJ sets and connect with the artists social media profiles.
