Love at First Play: Crafting Social Media Magic for Xbox’s Valentine’s Day Special

For this Valentine’s Day special campaign, Xbox sought to create a captivating and emotionally resonant promotional strategy, specifically tailored for social media platforms. The project called for the design of various social posts, each optimized for different dimensions and user experiences across multiple channels.

Project Brief and Deliverables

The primary objective was to convey the unique attributes of Xbox’s limited-edition Valentine’s Day controller, while also engaging the audience through visually stimulating and thoughtfully curated design elements.

Whether it was through iconic art-inspired visuals or modern typography and graphics, each deliverable aimed to not just showcase the product, but also encapsulate the spirit of love, creativity, and connection that Valentine’s Day evokes.

  • Concept One: Drawing inspiration from Michelangelo’s iconic “Creation of Adam,” this concept encapsulates themes of creativity, humanity, love, and interconnected experiences. The artistic embodiment aims to elevate the emotional resonance of the product with consumers.
  • Concept Two: Utilizing a minimalist color palette, this concept employs hovering elements, expressive typography, and carefully chosen iconography to create an atmospheric, modern design that aligns with Xbox’s brand ethos.
  • Concept Three: Focused on high contrast, gradients, and an effective use of shapes, icons, and typography, this mood board explores the dynamic relationship between graphic elements and the product itself, creating a visually arresting presentation.
