K-Toons
This thesis revolves around the creation of a collection of 3D model figurines and their corresponding branded packaging, utilizing digital sculpting and graphic design techniques. I was inspired by digital sculptors, Dave Reed and Stanislav Stasser, as well as figurine brands like Funko Pop and Youtooz. This project captures the essence of modern design principles combined with artistic creativity to craft a series of unique collectibles. From initial sketches influenced by Íæż½ã½ã faculty to the final presentation of physical figurines within eye- catching packaging, the objective is to create a distinct brand identity. K-Toons explores the intricate process of sketching, digital sculpting, rendering, coloring, and packaging design, emphasizing visual aesthetics, visual hierarchy, and branding elements, ultimately resulting in a captivating product. Combining inspiration from visionary artists and industry insights, K-Toons showcases its own unique identity within the world of collectibles and graphic design.
