In an engaging classroom exercise led by John Belisle, students were tasked with channeling the mystique and power of Hell's Gate rapids into captivating packaging design.
The Cult of Zer collectible toy packaging design draws inspiration from the legendary Hell's Gate rapids in British Columbia, Canada. Known for its turbulent waters and treacherous currents, Hell's Gate has long been a source of fascination and awe for locals and visitors alike. Its narrow passage, connecting the interior to the Fraser Valley, has earned it a place in the annals of Canadian folklore and mythology.
The Cult of Zer collectible toy packaging design combines bold punk aesthetics with a monoline illustrative approach to create a visually striking and immersive experience. At the forefront of the design is a skeleton figure, acting as a solemn watcher over the rivers, reflecting the cult's reverence for lost souls and their connection to the legendary Hell's Gate rapids.
The illustration is rendered with a bold and edgy style, incorporating handmade brushes to add texture and depth to the design. This gives the packaging a unique and tactile feel, inviting collectors to explore its intricacies.
The design is infused with elements inspired by the rivers themselves, with textures and patterns reminiscent of swirling currents and rocky landscapes incorporated throughout. This not only ties the packaging to the theme of the cult's connection to the rivers but also enhances the overall visual appeal of the collectible toy.
In summary, the Cult of Zer collectible toy packaging design captures the essence of the cult's reverence for the rivers and the lost souls that inhabit them, while also showcasing a bold and punk-inspired aesthetic that sets it apart.
