Adobe Nexus

YEAR: 2024

SCOPE: 8 weeks

BRAND TARGET: Adobe

DISCIPLINES: Industrial Design, Brand Identity

​

The Adobe Nexus VR was a branding project aimed at designing a next-generation VR headset to launch in 2026. Drawing inspiration from Adobe's sleek and creative brand identity. I incorporated elements from their iconic triangular. 'A' logo, reforming how headsets typically look with applying a geometric "filter" on the form. My goal was to be bold and have fun.

DESIGNERS SEEK TO CREATE AND INNOVATE, VR IS THE GAME-CHANGER

​

As the VR landscape expands, designers are turning to immersive tools to streamline workflows and enhance creativity. Adobe, known for empowering creative professionals, is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between digital creation and real-world experience—enabling designers to prototype, visualize, and test like never before.

Visually, Adobe's brand is known for having bold colors, dynamic patterns, and sleek visuals. Taking inspiration from the "A" in their logo, I went in a direction that evoked the same design and pushed a unique visual that would have Adobe stand out in the booming VR headset market.

The overall theme was messing with triangular patterns to create a unique, futuristic headset that followed the keywords bold, dynamic, and sleek. I was also inspired by creating a "pixel" affect with a series of triangles and referencing Adobe's well known application Photoshop and its usage of pixels. Lastly, since the target audience consists of a designers and artists, I was set on designing a VR pen that would make the experience feel more natural.

Adobe VR Pen, a VR stylus designed for artists to replicate natural workflow in virtual reality. Similar to current digital pens, the VR stylus will include a dial that can be used to scroll through a color wheel or other tool options in the quick menu. The 2 action buttons and the dial can be customized according to the user's needs and their favorite keyboard shortcuts for a faster workflow. The VR Pen brings Adobe's pen tool to life and is the perfect accessory to the Adobe Nexus.
