Skylanders Package Design

The goals of this project are to create a compelling package design for a series of custom 3-D printed art toys. The figures are designed as a Homage to the “Skylanders” video game series, and so the packaging should feel reminiscent to that visual style while still coming across as a separate line of figures. The target audience will be nostalgic collectors in their late teens/early 20s. This group of people would have grown up with the games that the art toys are inspired by and will be at an age where they will begin to act on nostalgia in a way that draws them towards products such as this.

Each of the three packages to follow a similar design structure, keeping the same shape and layout for its type and illustrations. However, each package is still be distinct in its visual appearance, taking aesthetics from the figures the boxes house as well as the elemental classes the characters are assigned. The boxes are illustrative but simplistic, while implementing an overlay texture to help break up the flat points of the box.
