Twitter Mirror: A Social Networking Selfie Booth

Bringing Twitter's Playfulness to Life

The Twitter Mirror is a unique and innovative concept, designed specifically for celebrities to take photos at events. It features a 2D birdhouse frame constructed of wood, which creates a fun 3D visual illusion. This design choice reflects Twitter's playful nature and adds a whimsical touch to the booth.

One of the standout features of the Twitter Mirror is its integration with the Twitter Mirror App. Celebrities can use the app to take selfies instantly, which are then shared online with their fans. The booth holds a tablet at an optimal camera height, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their height, can take the perfect photo.

To further enhance the Twitter branding, the design includes a stylus that appears as a bird perch. This stylus allows celebrities to add a personal signature or message to their photos, adding a unique touch to each image.

Practicality and functionality were also key considerations in the design process. The Twitter Mirror features integrated LED lighting, ensuring that photos taken in any environment, whether indoors or outdoors, have the best possible image quality. Additionally, the booth is flat packed for easy transportation, making it efficient to ship to various events around the world.

The Twitter Mirror is made from durable materials, including painted wood, chrome polished metal, and LED light panels. This ensures that the booth has a long-lasting life cycle, similar to a piece of furniture, making it a sustainable and reliable choice for event organizers.

The development process for the Twitter Mirror involved extensive research and testing. The design team brainstormed, sketched, and conducted camera tests to ensure that the booth met the requirements of both Twitter's brand identity and the functionality needed for a selfie booth. The birdhouse design was ultimately chosen for its ability to capture the essence of Twitter while maintaining the key functionalities of the Twitter Mirror.

The Twitter Mirror has been a success since its first production in February 2015. It has been distributed to major global events such as the Oscars, Grammys, and international trade shows. Its popularity and unique design led to it being awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2016 for Idea and Conceptual Design.

The Twitter Mirror is not only a functional and innovative product but also a testament to the power of design in capturing the essence of a brand. With its playful birdhouse design and integration with the Twitter Mirror App, it brings a touch of Twitter's social media magic to any event.
