Project: AXON
Modular Sound Expression Device
Modular Sound Expression Device
NACA envisions a design practice where meaning is translated into form, fostering awareness, relationship, and return.
AXON is a conceptual product and branding system centered around a desktop synthesizer designed for tactile sound modulation and expressive audio manipulation. The device allows users to physically engage with sound through dialing, switching, and distortion controls, bridging analog interaction with digital sound processing. The concept draws inspiration from a hybrid of analog and digital aesthetics, particularly influenced by sci-fi gadgetry and interface design seen in films like Star Wars. This influence informed both the visual language and user experience, resulting in a product that feels futuristic while maintaining a sense of familiarity and hands-on control.
The project focused on developing a cohesive relationship between form, function, and brand identity. Using Rhino for 3D modeling and Blender for rendering, I translated conceptual ideas into a refined physical object while simultaneously building a consistent visual system across the product, packaging, and promotional materials. AXON emphasizes intuitive interaction through tactile design, encouraging a natural rhythm of use over time. Through this process, I strengthened my ability to integrate industrial design with branding while developing a project from initial concept through prototyping and final presentation.

01: Moodboard: Goal

This mood board establishes the visual direction for the modular sound synthesizer by combining retro-futuristic aesthetics with modern industrial design. Inspired by vintage aerospace technology, modular synthesizers, and science fiction, the design emphasizes tactile interaction through physical controls, textured materials, and a restrained color palette. The goal is to create a product that feels both nostalgic and contemporary while encouraging an engaging, hands-on musical experience.

04: Initial Drawing

The initial concept sketch explores the synthesizer's form, control layout, and overall user interaction. Early ideas focused on creating a compact device with intuitive placement of knobs, sliders, switches, and buttons to promote tactile engagement. This stage established the product's ergonomics and visual hierarchy before moving into digital modeling and refinement.

02: Logo




The AXON logo was designed to reflect the product's clean, modular, and technology-driven identity. Geometric letterforms paired with bold typography create a modern industrial aesthetic, while the vibrant red accents reference interactive control points found on the synthesizer's interface. The mark balances simplicity with personality, making it adaptable across both digital and physical applications.

06: Technical Drawings

The technical drawings translate the concept into a production-ready design by defining the product's dimensions, proportions, and component placement. Orthographic and isometric views communicate the device's construction while ensuring consistency between the design concept and manufacturing intent.

07: Packaging



The packaging extends AXON's visual identity through a clean, minimal presentation that reflects the product's industrial aesthetic. Using the established typography, color palette, and graphic system, the packaging creates a premium unboxing experience while maintaining a cohesive brand presence across every touchpoint.
