The Hangout Music Festival design contest immediately follows the launch of Case-Mate’s new “I Make My Case” music line, which allows fans to customize mobile accessories using exclusive designs contributed by top artists such as No Doubt, Underwold, Metric, Yo Gabba Gabba, Nine Inch Nails and Health. Designed for true customization, I Make My Case allows users to design all visual elements of their case starting with the background color scheme and shade. From there they can pull in a variety of elements, including Yo Gabba Gabba logos and images and a remix of Underworlds latest album art produced by their longtime collaborator, Tomato. The design is completed as users take advantage of an array of tools to create unique effects with a kaleidoscope, monochromatic palette or mirror option. The result is a one-of-a-kind case that is a true collaboration between artists and their fans.
