Project Summary
Sound designed two social assets for The Met Gala in collaboration with GQ and Google Shopping. Worked directly with the GQ team to elevate and enhance the audio to feel personal and passionate.
Design
The idea for the sound was to create a strong sense of pacing and rhythm that flowed with each designers level of skill and aptitude. Using sounds flush with materiality that stretches, stitches and vibrates to the action.
