Ryöken Instinct : Dog Advent Calendar Packaging Design
BRIEF: Illustrate a festive scene in a Japanese / origami style, sympathetic to the style of the Ryoken Instinct logo which is itself geometric and modern with a playful twist.
Illustration to wrap the outer box as well as the inner doors and drawers (cutter guide supplied by the printer).
I was also asked to illustrate the constellations for the individual dog treat pouches which are housed within.
CLIENT: Ryöken Instinct
METHOD: I began by sketching with pencil onto a printout of the cutter guide, to ensure all elements would flow seamlessly over the work area.
I then brought the sketch into Adobe Photoshop and digitised it by hand, adding extra elements to make it really come to life.
It was a real treat to be able to work on this dog advent calendar project in collaboration with Wildnut Studios and Ryoken Instinct.
It's unusual for me to work in colour but I really enjoyed injecting some fresh pastels into the linework, this really elevated the final look.
I was given free reign on the finishing so each of the dogs were given a spot UV finish, with the logo inside silver foiled. The little draw ribbons are also silver to give a magical sparkle, and each of the treat pouches are illustrated with a constellation of the main ingredient.
