SEN Sense

Design Concept for Monotype

Sen started as a typographic based brief provided by Montype. It wanted designers to challenge brand design in creating a brand that utilises typography as its key visual identity, by designing a brand and outcomes for multiple different companies. I worked with three other designers for this project: Marta Brito and Mateusz Janas, we each started off as brand designers collaborating then branching onto separate branches of the project. . Our design solution was to design a Health Tech brand that appealed to an older audience by taken inspiration from luxury cars and contemporary design.

The name of the brand, SEN is an abbreviation of sentinel. The concept was the brand would become a guardian watching over your heart, it also allowed word play with sensible, sensor, and sensitive. We each developed two final logotype variations; mine can be seen below. Then after further refinement we combined our logotype ideas and picked which would fit our brand the most which was Mateusz’ design. Due to the nature of the brief this was used within the expo space and as part of the branding.

Smart Watch

The SEN Sense smart watch was designed to feel sleek and stylish. Contrary to the boxy nature of most other health care watches. Although designed for a leather strap the magnetic strap became a key feature of the design. This provides an easy way for removal and replacement of the straps. The user interface utilises key visuals from 60’s style design to create a readable but cool way to understand your blood pressure.

EXPO Space

The EXPO space provides an easy to transport pop up style exhibition for the showcase of the various SEN sense smart watches. Since the brief wanted a typographic inspired brand, I utilised the logotype as much as I could to create design elements from the letters. The interior seating and user guide stand uses the S. The watch screen creates an interesting focal point and screen to showcase the digital media. Within the space are three posters designed by Marta.
