curated experience box

the final project for my digital production class. the objective of this project was to ideate and fabricate a ‘curated experience’ or subscription service box similar to bright cellars or bespoke post. we had the option of either collaborating with an existing brand identity or creating our own for the purpose of this project. the box had to contain at least 3 separate items created by us and at least one printed material, such as a zine or pamphlet.

i decided to create a box based on the animal crossing video game series. i constructed the box myself using materials purchase from neenah papers. the box included recipe cards, a promotional card featuring a character i designed for the box, an activity booklet, and a handmade clay figurine (it was originally going to be a 3d print of a model i created but the print came out too small so i had to improvise). the box also has a light-activated speaker that i programmed to play the animal crossing: new horizons opening theme whenever the box is opened.

all art and assets were designed by me in procreate, adobe photoshop, & adobe illustrator. page layouts were created in adobe illustrator and adobe indesign. additional fabrication processes used include 3d printing, laser cutting, and vinyl sticker printing.
