Developing Brand Identity, Building MVP
Turnout is a Manhattan-based digital ticketing startup, utilizing Web3 technology to provide timeless real world experiences for musicians and fans alike.
As Design Lead, I worked with the founders to develop their brand identity from the ground up and produce a product prototype for 1st round investors.
Brand Identity
Unlike the lion's share of Web3 companies, Turnout uses blockchain technology toward benefitting users' real world lives. I boiled this mission down to a simple slogan, "A new tool for timeless experiences."
For the logo, I visually abstracted the "ticketing" concept to its geometrical essence - a simple stack of rectangles. As a color of life, physicality and vigor, I saw red as a fitting choice.
User Journey
Creating a simple flow chart, I marked the user journey from sign-up through profile building and ticket purchase. The app doubles as a form of community-building social media, letting users connect with fellow fans to showcase their digital ticket collections and accompanying gig photos.
Marketing Materials
Drawing inspiration from the DIY music scene I spent much of my youth participating in, I incorporated Xerox'd show fliers and rowdy gig photography into the promo materials.
Adding Additional Value
Using Turnout, artists and venues are able to attach additional forms of content to the tickets at a higher price mark-up, such as set-lists, pre and post-show vlogs, merch vouchers and other show-related ephemera.
By tying the tickets to the blockchain, fans and artists are able to re-sell the tickets and proprietary content while earning a percentage of every successive resell.
