Octane Design

The BODIES IN MOTION issue of Magazine details the different ways motion shapes our lives — from ideas to machines to the human form. In the feature story “Making Things Move,” we explore a timeline that showcases some of the more interesting bicycle, locomotive and automobile powertrains in The Henry Ford’s transportation collection that have put machines in motion. When we designed the layout for this feature, we took inspiration from the gears and chains that put things in motion — circles of all sizes, arrows big and small — fill the pages.

🎉 Here’s a throw back to the Detroit Throwdown brand we knocked out in 2022. 🎉

Octane Design had the incredible opportunity to work with Visit Detroit on branding the Detroit Throwdown event at Connect Detroit, one of the biggest tradeshows for the destination marketing industry. 🌟

Our mission? Infuse every aspect with an authentic Detroit vibe, celebrating the city's rich music history. From Motown to techno, Detroit's musical legacy was the heartbeat of the event. 🎶🏙️

We themed three iconic venues—Huntington, The Fillmore, and Union Assembly along with Columbia Street next to Union Assembly—each pulsating with the sounds and spirit of Detroit. 🎸🎤

The results? A resounding success! The buzz from this event still echoes through the industry, with people talking about the unforgettable experience years later. 🚀👏

🏈🏈🏈 Episode 2 from NFL Draft in full swing! We are so proud of our city for hosting this monumental event and grateful for the sport fans nationwide that came to show their love. Our Lions had a fantastic season last year, and it was the perfect backdrop for the Draft. Even though we were so very busy, we are now saddened that it's over. Millions of memories were made in the Motor City, and we made many of our own! ❤️
