Project List


Qboid

The Brief: To create a striking identity and packaging that reflected the puzzle's design and would stand out on a shelf.
The Solution: The modernist inspired design uses the same strong colours as the puzzle itself and picks up on the concept with the use of small underscores. The cover set at an angle implies interactivity and evokes the sense of playing with the blocks.
