This is the original Mega Man package design.
Title: Mega Man Package Re-Design
Date: Spring 2004
Creation Time: About 8 hours
Dimensions: 600px X 528px
Style: Package re-design
Medium: Adobe Illustrator software
Subject: Original Mega Man Nintendo game packaging
Theme: A modernized and cuter Mega Man
Aesthetics: Cartoony Mega Man is bigger to highlight him as the main character and advertise his persona for his debut video game appearance. He is cuter to attract a younger audience and to be more faithful to how he actually looks in the game. The futuristic feel of the box is updated to seem more futuristic via pseudo-polygonal entanglement and the hologram-esque green circle on the front. The Mega Man logo is made larger and louder to meet video game package expectations and to spotlight Mega Man's debut.
Process: I drew up about 15 thumbnails for the layout beforehand. I imported the enemy graphics from the internet and assembled them into something that looks like a holographic projection. The large Mega Man drawing is original and was made almost exclusively with the pen tool.
