Ride As You Live

Role
Indian Motorcycle aimed to expand its reach by captivating a younger community and challenging prevailing stereotypes. Going beyond the traditional perception of bikers, this conceptual endeavor reimagined the 'typical rider,' inspiring individuals to embrace a dynamic lifestyle that harmoniously blends their passion for motorcycles with their distinct identities. Through meticulously crafted campaigns and thoughtfully constructed messaging, the power of design was harnessed to redefine the narrative within the motorcycling realm—one that celebrates individuality, nurtures inclusivity, and kindles an insatiable thirst for exploration on two wheels. [This project is a fictitious scenario, completed as a part of SCAD's Art Direction and Brand Strategy class projects.]
I played a role in ideating and implementing innovative design strategies, collaborating with fellow students to effectively communicate Indian Motorcycle's vision through captivating visuals, animations and strategic brand positioning.

Awards

Phase 1: Reaching out to the new target audience (20-35 yo) and introducing them to the brand by giving out freebies (flags, zines, etc.)

Phase 2: We would ask people to create and share artwork, with the prompt, "What kind of rider do you want to be?" The most liked art, would get a chance to be part of Indian's new merchandise line.

Phase 3: In the final phase of the campaign, Indian Motorcycles would partner with artist-run cultural collectives such as Second Sundays. We would set up booths at these events and give out free tattoos. We would also give people a chance to sign up for a weekend long course to get a Motorcycle License.
