We are looking for a creative and skilled product designer to design an innovative Photobooth that looks different to anything already in the market. This is a project-based opportunity to create something sleek and modern in design, whilst also being functional for a nightclub type environment (i.e it must be designed with hard wear and tear in mind!)
Our company specialises in creating and supplying permanent install Photobooths, currently in 3 different countries and looking to expand further . The focus of this project is on concept and innovation, our current Photobooths have a wind machine built into the equipment section of the Photobooth to blow through the fascia and give that wind swept model look to users, this is a feature we'd love to retain. If you have any other innovative ideas you think would work well in a Photobooth, then we'd also love to hear/see these!
The ideal Photobooth will be able to break down into pieces for transport and installation, ideally with the section housing all of the equipment being one piece, so the unit can be fitted out with components and wired up prior to going out for installation.
We have had a concept render done, which you can use a a bit of inspiration, but we are very open to other ideas/concepts also.
The fascia of the photobooth should include as a minimum
- Flash filter/ambient light perspex panel
- Port hole for camera
- Touch screen interface
- Print slot/catch
We will add some images of our current Photobooths to give an idea of how our current fascias look.
The equipment inside the photobooth is as follows and should be thought about in the design in terms of mounting points/positions. Specs for these can easily be found online:
- DNP RXHS1 Printer
- Canon 2000D Camera
- Shuttle DH610 SFF Computer
- Studio flash with standard thumb screw mount (image of mount attached)
- Ambient LED Strip lights (these can be custom made to any length)
With regards to the wind machine, we currently use a centrifugal fan (specs attached), but again, are open to this being changed should a good suggestion be forthcoming.
Submissions will be evaluated based on the following factors:
Look and feel of the Photobooth (40%)
Is the concept unique and not already available in the market? Does it have a modern/futuristic feel
Functionality and Practicality (30%)
The ability to break the Photobooth down into smaller parts for transport/install is very important.
All of the internal components should be easily accessible and changeable for service engineers.
Feasibility and Manufacturability (30%)
It it our thought that this photobooth will be manufactured from sheet metal, then powdercoated, ready for vinyl wrapping for branding purposes before installation. Therefore any design elements need to be manufacturable by a sheet metal manufacturing company using common methods.
We are open to submissions suggesting manufacturing in other materials, so long as they fit the other criteria.
Aesthetics Over Functionality:
Designs that prioritise looks over practicality or usability, ultimately we are looking to create a commercially viable product that can be manufactured and used in a real world environment.
Generic or Existing Designs:
Concepts that already exist in the market or do not introduce a unique feature or innovation.
Overly Complex Designs:
Designs that are difficult to manufacture, assemble, or use. The solution should be practical and feasible for real-world production.
Unsafe or Impractical Ideas:
Designs that do not consider safety standards such as sharp edges, instability, or unsuitable materials.
As part of your submission, please include a sample of your previous work that demonstrates your experience and skills in product design. The sample should highlight: Your ability to create practical, innovative solutions. Examples of 3D models, sketches, or technical drawings relevant to product design. Any past projects that show creativity, problem-solving, or work with sheet metal manufacturing(preferred but not required).
