As always, we start with research and head into sketches while the creative wheels spin. It didn't take me long to nail a direction. The game features many carrying cases and it was an obvious inspiration. But I still wanted to explore other elements of the game like the Bridges Logo as a locking mechanism and the scanner seen on the protagonist and how that could be translated into a mechanism to open the box to reveal the content. V2 would've been a fun approach. The idea was to add a heat sensitive ink coating that would leave temporary hand prints on the box as seen in game. Ultimately the iconic carrying case was chosen. 

I managed to find a company that created carrying cases similar to the in-game models and with the team we begun the production process of material gathering and allocating space for all the goodies. Then it was time for a 3d-render to breath a little more life for the client. 

Photography time! After some tweaks from the client and production as all things in conceptual design are malleable we came to a nearly identical final output. Super pleased with this build as its the heaviest and sturdiest kit we've ever made. Truly a moment of "form follows function" and I couldn't be more proud!
