Production Technology

The key visual was developed using non-destructive editing workflows in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. The shattered screen effect was composited using high-resolution texture overlays and blending modes, while the map data was extracted via GIS-based vector rendering for precise urban detailing. Typography follows a grid-based layout system to ensure visual harmony. The final output is optimized for both print and digital at 300 DPI

Design Challenge

The main challenge was balancing emotional impact with clear service messaging. Visually merging a cracked phone with a city map required careful composition to avoid confusion. Limited access to accurate geolocation data and ensuring cultural relevance in a diverse market were key obstacles. Internally, aligning with brand tone while addressing urgent user pain points made the design process both complex and creatively demanding.

Research

This was applied design research aimed at improving customer service communication. Using mixed methods, we combined user interviews, competitor analysis, and service heatmaps. Tools included surveys, GIS mapping, and A/B visual testing with 50 participants. Results showed users respond better to location-aware visuals. Insights shaped a design that boosted service trust and accessibility, directly impacting brand perception and user engagement in real life scenarios.

Inspiration

When your phone breaks, it’s more than just a cracked screen it’s a moment of panic.
Your memories, your work, your connection to the world all suddenly feel fragile.
In that moment, you’re not just looking for repair you’re looking for reassurance. For someone who understands how much your device means to you.

Project Duration

The project commenced in January 2025 in Cairo, Egypt, and was completed in April 2025. All stages of concept development, design, and production were carried out locally. The final visual was launched as part of a nationwide customer service campaign and exhibited at the Cairo Design Week in May 2025.

Operation Flow

This visual communicates a simple message: when your phone breaks, help is just minutes away. The cracked screen with a city map inside symbolizes both the problem and the solution and location-based support. Viewers instantly understand the ease of accessing customer service nearby. The message is emotional yet practical, creating trust by showing how quickly and reliably help can arrive when it's most needed.
