This project incorporated several disciplines to create something unique and fun. The result was a one-of-a-kind collectible complete with packaging and a brand identity under the name Devious Donkey. All mockups, physical prints, and animation were done in Blender, while the packaging and logo were designed in Illustrator and InDesign.
The first step was to create a concept drawing of how I wanted the figure to look.
The next step in the process was top translate the drawing to 3D space. Certain changes were made to compensate for this change, such as adding the books under the character model. These served as a stand for balance, while also staying on theme.
The packaging design was heavily inspired by Tad Carpenter's work. He makes beautiful and intricate geometric patterned designs using simple shapes. I really enjoy the almost "Hieroglyphic" look that is inherent in that design choice, and I wanted that to reflect that in my packaging design as well.
