Ateez lightstick contest design (2019)

In 2018, the K-pop group ATEEZ hosted a world contest so their fans could design their new lightstick, a luminous artifact unique to every group sold as merchandising for being used in concerts by the public to cheer the singers.

Inspired by the pirate concept of the group, I designed this version, which included the pirate's imaginary, as well as the group's colors, black and gold.

The design became official in 2019 with the release of the 1st version of the "Lightiny", Ateez's lightstick, which remained the only version until 2022. This design became a mass-produced item used by more than 400,000 fans in shows across 30 countries worldwide.
