Slack Rocket Emoji Sculpture / Sparks
During a client call, someone proposed a physical version of the Slack rocket emoji as part of a “bright shiny relevant object,” a term used to describe a highly enticing visual set piece that could be used to tell a story about a Slack/Salesforce product.
Initially regarded as possibly too costly for this event, I volunteered to model a 2.5D and 3D interpretation of this emoji. I created this hard-surface sculpt and shared with the team who expanded it into a larger interactive story. The final design convinced the client to set aside space in the budget for the impressive 3D rocket. It has since been used at multiple Slack/Salesforce events.
