This is a series of three boxes I created to be toy packaging in Design 4 at SUNY Oswego.  The toys were to be "Watchmen" inspired because I didn't want to infringe upon any trademarks by actually using the Watchmen.  In their place I created the "Occult Warrior League."  If I can find my photo of the completed box I will post it soon.  This box is also in the prism shape, but altered to suite the size, being just over a foot wide.  My main focus with these boxes was to make them a part of the toy.  Each character's box could be used with the character.  For "Inertia" the box is a rooftop, "Lode" a car, and "Phoenix" a castle.  Kids love to play with boxes and use them to be castles, cars, or hideouts and many other extensions of their toys.  This is a play off of that, taking that little extra step to give a kid the ultimate enjoyment out of their toy.  The first two layouts at the top of the page are in the way files would be sent to a printer.  The last box was portioned out onto different pages to suffice the capabilities of print paper sizes at the school.  For this project I created everything from the toy logo, characters, to the barcode, toy company and it's logo and a TV network to sponsor it.  It was a lot of work but I really enjoyed taking the time and having full creative freedom with every element.
