Basic description of the project:
Our challenge was to make K’s JAPAN famous as a cool rock guitar brand. Instead of creating a normal advertisement, we developed an extreme product to excite people and engage them with K’s JAPAN. A guitar born-to-be-destroyed, SMASH! SMASH is meant to be destroyed in its structure, recycle system and price. It can be played as a normal guitar too. It’s an extraction of rock spirit, “Destroy-to-Create!” Destroy rigid systems to create a new world. With this spirit, we aimed to attract not only rock fans but people wanting to breakthrough stress of recession.
