Motorola’s innovative and stylish two-way talk radio range specially designed to create a new system of communication and interaction within the family, provides adventurous families and friends a cost effective and easy method of communication while experiencing the outdoors.
Although attracting a functional 5km to a 6km radius depending on terrain and conditions, the radio system is eco-economical and universal, as all conversations are free and independent of any network. The new walkie-talkie is practical, resiliant for outdoor conditions and easy to use as families can “hook it, hang it, or clip it” [1] while on the move.
Visual Design Analysis:
Motorola has successfully developed two different styles of TLKR radios: T3 and T5 to attract distinguished audiences through the use of colour, form and function
- Both T3/T5 formulate around the principle of the curvilinear, whereby oval shapes have been used to create the shape of the product, and geometric patterns such as buttons and speaker holes to create rhythm and visual harmony throughout the design.
- Contrasting textures featuring a smooth plastic finish encompassed by ergonomically gripped contours complete of rubber have been used to increase support, strength and resliance; making it the ideal modern accessory.
- Colour and line contrast of the vibrant coloured and curved shape of the radio in comparison to the grey vertical ribbed outer body, has been used to create a dynamic eye catchy product, while maintaining sustainability.
- Balance has been achieved through repetition of a looping form featuring at the top and bottom of the T3. Even though the T5 does not feature a repetitive looping form, it achieves visual balance as the geometric speaker holes extends and effectively curve in unison within its outer oval shape.
TLKR T3
TLKR T3 featuring in colours orange, red and blue has been designed by Motorola to attract a young adventurous market. This is enforced in the scale and proportion of the product, in comparison to the T5. The radio itself is considerably shorter anthropometrically designed for a younger face.
