Pensel

For this project I was tasked with designing product packaging around a fictional brand. I decided to design my packaging around a technical pencil because of my love for illustration. I knew I wanted to design something simple while maintaining a high-end feeling. My intended product audience was for designers, artists, and professionals. Received an A+ grade.

For this work, OpenEye’s request was for a character meeting the criteria of a “killer pen-guin.” This character was planned to be used for a sticker with an upcoming release of their surveillance software. Over the course of this work, I sketched, iterated, and finalized numerous designs of the “killer penguin” character.
