The Next Banger Final
I upgraded the show's core visual symbol—the retro cassette tape—into the immersive centerpiece for the finale, where 'Side A' and 'Side B' contestants competed on the same stage. Using flown LED strips, I constructed a vast 'cassette space' to visualize the flow of music, lending a unique sense of ceremony to this annual original music gala.

A Digital Cassette: Weaving Time, Memory, and Melody
The core design for the finale was to elevate the show's "cassette" symbol into an immersive arena for the 'A vs. B' showdown. I utilized multiple sets of flown LED strips to build a transparent yet massive 'cassette space' structure on stage. This structure simulated a spinning cassette with flowing visuals, serving to both visually divide and connect the zones for the A and B sides. During performances, it transformed into a customized dynamic backdrop synchronized with the music's emotion, providing bespoke visual support for each artist. This ultimately consolidated the entire season's brand identity at the moment of coronation, creating a true stage of honor.
